On our fourth episode of GN! Looking Back we talk with Kate Edwards, a leading game culturalization expert and a former head of IGDA and Global Game Jam. In 2017, Kate gave a lecture at Aalto University about the importance of understanding different cultures while developing new games - not just localizing your content, but making it work within the diverse global game markets. In this episode, we listen a snippet of her 2017 lecture and proceed with reflecting what has happened between now and then. How has the recent geopolitical changes impacted games? What is the difference between the East and the West? How to avoid a backlash on social media? What is happening with Chinese markets these days and what Kate thinks about cancel culture?
