More than 700 figures from the game design community have endorsed Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president in the 2024 U.S. election. This group, which includes designers, writers, publishers, and reviewers from across the industry, has rallied behind the Democratic ticket under the slogan “Harris/Walz: It’s the Correct Play.”
Among the notable endorsers are prominent figures from companies such as Xbox, Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Inc., and BoardGameGeek. These creators cited Harris’s leadership in economic policies, reproductive rights, and international relations as reasons for their support. They highlighted her experience and ability to unite people, referring to her as a proven leader who has a strong track record of getting results.
The group also praised Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, for his cooperative leadership style, which they likened to the collaborative nature of many games. His leadership in expanding social safety nets and his connections to the gaming community were noted, with some pointing out his personal interest in gaming.
In contrast, the group expressed concerns about the policies of the Republican candidates, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, citing their opposition to certain democratic principles and policies.
