Today in Cape Town, as part of Africa Games Week, a panel discussed and debunked common myths around the games industry on the continent, from the measure of success to what authentic African stories can look like.
The panel was hosted by Deborah Mensah-Bonsu, who leads Supercell's philanthropic arm, but is also the founder of Games for Good and part of the Playing for the Planet Alliance team.
It featured Masseka Games' founder Teddy Kossoko (whom we interviewed earlier this year about championing the games industry in Senegal), Maliyo Games' founder Hugo Obi (who was also part of a Devcom panel who called the wider industry to break down its biases about African games markets in August), and Leti Arts' CEO Eyram Tawia (among the co-founders of the Pan Africa Gaming Group)
