Last week I was invited to take part in Gamescom Congress, a small conference bolted onto the absolutely gigantic games show that takes over Cologne, Germany each August.
After our recent video about Frogwares, the Ukrainian games studio that's now having to adapt and survive in a country currently under siege, we were contacted by Gamescom asking if I'd like to give a talk about the story we'd just told at this year's conference
Rather than speak on behalf of those living through Putin's brutality, we instead asked if it'd be possible for one or two Frogwares employees to join me on stage for a live interview instead. Thankfully this was able to happen, although as you'll hear in the video above, the journey certainly wasn't easy for either Iryna and Nika.
I'm extremely grateful to them both for having made it all the same, in order to share their stories and continue to remind the video games industry that Ukraine needs our help.
Please give it a watch, if you can.
