We've Signed The Gaming Open Letter Against Hateful Conduct, Will You?

The letter was originally posted yesterday by Andreas Zecher of Berlin-based indie studio Spaces of Play. Take a look below:

Open letter to the gaming community

We believe that everyone, no matter what gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religion has the right to play games, criticize games and make games without getting harassed or threatened. It is the diversity of our community that allows games to flourish.

If you see threats of violence or harm in comments on Steam, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook or reddit, please take a minute to report them on the respective sites.

If you see hateful, harassing speech, take a public stand against it and make the gaming community a more enjoyable space to be in.

Thank you

If you want to sign this letter, please send a tweet in the following format:
