![Raising Good Gamers: Building a Healthier Future for Play | G4C2026
Video games are now one of the most influential forms of culture and connection, yet public conversation about young people and play is still shaped by fear and outdated assumptions. Following the launch of the Raising Good Gamers white paper by Dr. Rachel Kowert, this panel brings together leaders from across the games ecosystem to ask what shared responsibility looks like when families, industry, researchers, and media all have a role. The discussion moves past the question of whether games are good or bad and toward how evidence and thoughtful design can support healthier play.
