SXSW Interactive

I just received news that the SXSW Interactive panel picker is live and ready for votes. We are trying to host the following panel: “Hardcore or Casual: How Do We Describe Gamers?” I have some interesting people I want to get on the panel and I know this will be a fun discussion. We’re going to talk about games and how can gaming communities be more welcoming.

“The purpose of this panel is to examine the terms we use to describe gamers. Hardcore and casual are old terms to describe gamers, but people that are new to gaming and even people who are long time casual gamers don’t identify themselves as gamers. Do we need a new term that is more welcoming? How vast is the difference between the “hardcore” and “casual” games industries? Do we need a new term that is more welcoming or all encompassing?”

In order to have a chance to run this panel at SXSW, we need your help. You’ll need to register, but please register and then click on the thumbs up by our panel here: SXSW GamingAngels panel.

Thank you all for your support! I will be adding the panel members to the description as I get confirmation. Voting goes until Friday, September 4.
