Insomniac Games’ Post

Did you know that gaming can be hugely beneficial for people with learning disabilities and autism? The world of gaming can offer a less stressful, social environment as well as developing valuable life skills such as communication and problem solving. But the gaming industry still has a long way to go to become accessible and inclusive. Research has shown people with particular accessibility needs do face barriers when gaming. Assistive technology is available but can be costly and information about accessibility for particular games is limited. This Friday we are launching our brand new gaming event - Game for Change. This fundraising event not only raises vital funds for the work that SeeAbility does, but I hope it raises awareness about the new for inclusivity in the gaming world. Sign up in just 3 simple steps - follow the link to find out more. If you are an avid gamer, or just enjoy a couple of hours on the weekend, or maybe your kids or even friends like to stream their games online - this is the perfect event for you! Please consider taking a moment to share and help up raise awareness by getting involved. https://lnkd.in/eqxkzjTu #fundraising #gamingcommunity #gamingindustry #gamingevent #charityfundraising #charityevent #charitygaming #gameforchange

It's time to start paying attention to the gaming community, as it's officially larger than movies and sports combined. And it's not just for kids - 38% of gamers are between 18 and 34, with 16% over the age of 55. Gaming is shaping the future of entertainment, social media, and technological innovation. One key subject for gamers is inclusivity, which encourages empathy and understanding between different cultures and backgrounds. Gaming has become a vehicle for social commentary and political activism, tackling topics such as inequality, discrimination, climate change, and ecological destruction. Gaming also offers friendship, cooperation, and shared experiences, providing community and social support. Join the #stjudeplaylive charity stream for creators and gamers, and support St. Jude patients and families in a fun and easy way. Our gaming community has already raised over $60M for the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC.

Spending quality time with your children is an essential part of building a strong and lasting bond with them. 🪴Read together. Set aside time each day to read with your children. This is a great way to bond with them while also promoting literacy and a love of reading. 🪴Clean and decorate the house. Tidy up spaces together and let the children help you hang up items. Encourage them to create their decorations to display. 🪴Volunteer together in a local charity or organization. This is a great way to give back to the community and teach your children the importance of helping others. 🪴Play games. Whether it's a board game, card game, or outdoor game, playing games together is a great way to bond with your children. 🪴Explore the outdoors. Take a walk with your children and explore the beauty of nature during the holiday season. I hope this is helpful.🥰 Share! 😍👏 #earlyyearslearninginitiative #buildingbondwithyourchildren #parenting #parentingsupport #familygoals
