Alright, pause the game just for a sec.
Games aren't just fun, it's more then that right?
They bring us together
whether in a workplace or on a stream
or at a convention.
At any given moment there are millions of people
like you and me, playing, chatting, adventuring,
dueling, adventuring, side questing, exploring!
Millions of real people.
Most of our gaming experience can be amazing.
But let's be honest, there are problems:
toxic corners of the community, abuse, harassment,
bullying, isolation, depression.
Behind the avatar on your screen a real person
may be suffering alone in silence.
It might be your friend, your kid, your co-worker,
or maybe that person is you.
Too often it feels like we're supposed to toughen up,
play on, get good.
But if someone is struggling, they don't need to get good,
they need to get help.
Whether you're a game developer, a fan,
a player, a streamer, a competitor,
any part of this community
if you need someone to talk to
the Games and Online Harassment Hotline
is here for you.
It's not about the person you think has it worse than you,
or the person you've heard stories about.
If you or someone you care about is struggling
no matter how bit or small it might feel
