ReSpec, the accountability support project that started under the Games Hotline, continues on as an independent organization! The monthly group support space has been running for 2 years, and there's 1-on-1 support as well. Find their ongoing services at ReSpec.space

For over three years, we offered emotional support and digital safety guidance to people experiencing online harassment, hostility or abuse in the games industry, and more. Now, you can read data and learnings about the Hotline's lifetime impact at gameshotline.org/2024/04/01/our…

The @gameshotline is closed, but the guides it put together will remain available for all who can continue to benefit from them. Bookmark them for yourself, share with your colleagues, and pass along to anyone you know who could utilize these resources: gameshotline.org/guides

We've adapted two guides from @CrashOverrideNW, updated for 2024. Please share them with anyone you know who could benefit from these resources: SO YOU'VE BEEN DOXXED: gameshotline.org/2024/03/27/so-… TALKING TO FAMILY AND POLICE ABOUT HARASSMENT: gameshotline.org/2024/03/27/tal…
