Safety, Thriving, and the Future of Gaming with Rob Lewington

This week I am joined by Rob Lewington, SVP of Trust and Safety at TP. We dig into what it actually means for players to thrive in games, why safety is a prerequisite and not a tradeoff, and how the structural design advantages of games give builders more room to shape healthy communities than purely social platforms ever could. They also dig into how to measure community health beyond operational inputs, what it looks like to recognize companies doing innovative safety work, and why building that kind of industry infrastructure matters for the field's long-term growth.
