The latest letter in our Hispanic Heritage Month series touches on the difficulty of changing the games industry from the inside out, building something new, and trying to belong somewhere that may not want you.
I don’t think you’re being a doomer at all! This conversation wouldn’t be happening, nor would it be a rarity, if your concerns weren’t merited. There’s a glaring absence of us in this industry and it’s come at a price that you and I are likely to be paying for a long time to come should we elect to stick around.
It kind of makes you want to give up. I think we’ve done a sufficient job here of laying out the broad strokes of our apprehensions and roadblocks, and it just sounds so exhausting to get through. If I’m being completely honest, we deserve better than this industry and should have a space that recognizes that. Anyone or thing you must convince of your validity based on what you look or sound like just doesn’t sound like something I want to belong to.
As for you and I, we do this, no matter how unpopular and unsexy it is. We stave off obscurity and have these conversations everywhere we can go. We absolutely waste the freelance budgets of anyone willing to take on letter series like this. We take up editorial after editorial and rant! But we don’t beg for any of it. We make damn clear this is as much ours as it is anyones.
