Watch Leigh Alexander’s Speech on Games Writing and Culture From XOXO

Because we should be listening to women in gaming right now more than ever.

Recommended Videos

Leigh Alexander, Gamasutra’s Editor at Large, has been facing a lot of the same stuff most women in games culture have faced as of late—which is why it’s awesome to see her get up on stage at XOXO Festival and talk about games writing and culture. And if you haven’t seen Anita Sarkeesian’s speech from XOXOFest, you should probably go and watch that too.

If you want to support Leigh’s writing, her book Clipping Through is available online for just $5.
