An online talk show connecting game studios, developers, disabled gamers, accessibility practitioners, and gaming communities to initiate broader conversations about accessible gaming in Indonesia. The session aims to encourage collaboration, awareness, and practical action toward creating more inclusive gaming ecosystems and experiences. Accessible Gaming by bringing together diverse stakeholders — from game practitioners and communities to disabled gamers — to spark dialogue and share emerging practices in Indonesia. As the largest gaming market in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is home to an estimated 192 million gamers. Indonesian game studios are also increasingly involved in the global game development ecosystem, contributing to internationally scaled projects and production pipelines. At the same time, the global gaming industry has started paying more serious attention to accessibility through inclusive design practices and accessibility features that support players with diverse needs and ways of interaction. Despite this potential, millions of Indonesians with disabilities still face barriers in accessing digital products and gaming experiences. This talk show explores how the gap between accessibility needs and current implementation can be transformed into an opportunity — not only to expand market reach, but also to position Indonesian studios and developers as active contributors within the evolving global game industry. The discussion will also highlight how accessibility can become part of innovation, product quality, and international competitiveness for local studios seeking to engage with global audiences and industry standards.

An online discussion featuring Indonesian diaspora developers working in Europe, sharing their experiences implementing accessibility practices within international product teams. The session explores workplace culture, accessibility standards, organizational challenges, and practical lessons from building accessibility initiatives from the ground up in European tech environments. While accessibility integration in local Indonesian product development practices may still be relatively uncommon, this session brings perspectives from two countries with more mature accessibility ecosystems, Norway and the Netherlands, and examines how regulations, organizational culture, and industry expectations shape accessible digital products. Whether accessibility expertise is seen as a practical skill to improve inaccessible Indonesian digital products, a professional advantage for working in global companies, or even part of the preparation for #KaburAjaDulu, this discussion aims to provide grounded insights into how accessibility is applied in real production environments — beyond theory, compliance checklists, or temporary trends. Participants will gain firsthand perspectives on how accessibility work is positioned inside international teams, how cross-functional collaboration happens in practice, and what technical and non-technical competencies are increasingly valued in today’s global digital industry.
