E is for Everyone: The Role of Stakeholders in Participatory Design and Game Studies
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, we investigate whether or not the Participatory Design (PD) paradigm might be used to address issues of social exclusion in game design.Here, social exclusion is used to describe games where design choices limit selfrepresentation (in terms of gender and/or ethnicity) or access.Three areas where PD approaches have been used to address social exclusion are discussed and critiqued.In particular, the importance of including diverse and representative stakeholders is discussed.

Design with multi-stakeholder participation is a particular branch of participatory design, in which stakeholders do not directly participate in the co-design stage with design professionals but mainly contribute by making requirements and providing feedback to designers.
“In the field of design research, design with multi-stakeholder participation is a particular branch of participatory design, in which these stakeholders wouldn't directly participate in the co-design stage together with the design professionals [59].They mainly contribute to the design process by making requirements and providing feedback to the designers [51].”

Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn many real-world design scenarios, multi-stakeholder opinions are highly crucial to design outcomes, since stakeholders usually work as end-users who manage the deployment of the finished product.

The Introduction says participatory design includes stakeholders so their needs are met in the design and deployment of the finished product. That supports the importance of stakeholder input, but it does not say stakeholders usually serve as end-users who manage deployment. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
