Our Mission
Humans in Games is a nonprofit charity dedicated to ensuring that every human has a fair, safe, and respectful place in gaming.We believe gaming is at its best when it is built by people who feel seen, valued, and supported. We reject labels and box‑checking approaches that divide individuals into categories, and instead focus on humanity, merit, creativity, and compassion. Our goal is to help shape a games industry where opportunity is based on talent and integrity—and where no one is excluded because of who they are or where they come from.
We are just beginning our journey, but our vision is clear: a healthier, more human future for games.
