Ethics and Morals in Gaming

WSEGL Code of Ethics and Morals

Warriors and Survivors Esports Gaming Lounge
Registered Nonprofit – Canada & USA

🔥 Our Flame

WSEGL exists to serve the overlooked, underserved, and unseen — using the power of gaming, storytelling, and adaptive technology to ignite dignity, inclusion, and joy in every human we meet.

We are not a brand.
We are a living promise — forged through pain, powered by love, and protected by purpose.

🧭 Our Core Beliefs

We believe:

  • Every life has value.

  • Every story deserves to be heard.

  • Every gamer deserves access — no matter their body, diagnosis, identity, or past.

  • Joy is healing. Play is sacred. Laughter is a right.

  • Technology must serve people — not profit.

  • Inclusion is not a feature — it's the foundation.

🕹 Who We Serve

We proudly and intentionally create space for:

  • Disabled gamers (physical, sensory, neurological, invisible)

  • Cancer survivors and those in treatment

  • 2SLGBTQI+ youth, adults, and elders

  • Neurodivergent individuals

  • Chronic pain and rare disease warriors

  • Those healing from trauma, grief, addiction, and abuse

  • Anyone who’s ever been told they don’t belong in gaming

  • We represent Indigenous culture and work towards reconciliation through values of the founders of Canada

No diagnosis, label, or past disqualifies you here.
If you’re human, you belong.

❌ What We Reject

WSEGL will never tolerate:

  • Hate, bullying, or bigotry of any kind

  • Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, or misogyny

  • Content or conduct that glorifies violence, abuse, gore, or exploitation

  • Pay-to-play access, tiered visibility, or influencer-driven vanity metrics

  • Any act or policy that dehumanizes, silences, or shames

We don't need to be viral.
We need to be real.

🎮 Our Gaming Ethics

  • We do not host first-person shooters, violent fighting games, or M-rated content

  • We prioritize nonviolent, emotionally safe, inclusive games

  • Every game is reviewed for accessibility, narrative value, and healing potential

  • We use adaptive hardware from Logitech G, Microsoft, RJ Cooper, and Makers Making Change

  • We use resources like AbleGamers and Taming Gaming to guide families, schools, and care teams

  • We build setups that respect body pain, physical limits, and neurodivergence

Gaming with WSEGL is safe, sacred, and so much more than a game.

🤝 Our Partner Commitments

When we collaborate with:

  • Schools

  • Community centers

  • Pride events

  • Nonprofits

  • Donors

  • Corporate allies

…we expect alignment with our ethics.

We will not partner with any group that:

  • Requires us to change our values

  • Profits off marginalized pain

  • Pushes predatory tech or inaccessible design

  • Exploits our story for PR gain

Every dollar, every product, every handshake — must come from shared values, not optics.

🧡 Our Community Promise

We promise to:

  • Center lived experience in every decision

  • Give more than we take

  • Uplift voices before algorithms

  • Speak the truth — even when it costs us

  • Be human, always

We are not here to be perfect.
We are here to be present.

✨ Our Legacy

We are building a world where:

  • Disability is not exclusion

  • Gaming is not just escape — it’s healing

  • Stories are archived, honored, and protected

  • AI, gear, and tech serve humans first

  • Youth can find purpose in pixels

  • Every gamer can say, “I belong.”

And it all started with a dream in Roblox.
