Are you or your team ready to handle a crisis in your game's community?

To be sure check out this 2017 GDC talk, in which Electronic Arts' Emma Siu explores the importance of wise handling of difficult circumstances in community management, how it can and does inspire trust and long-term player commitment, and how something amazing and fulfilling can arise from chaos.

A story of pizza, empathy, and community management, Siu's talk was a great watch that you can now go back and watch yourself for free over on the official GDC YouTube channel!
