This article builds on Games of Empire by centering the experiences of diversity workers in Game Studies of Empire. Our data were gathered through qualitative mixed methods of in-depth surveys and semi-structured interviews. Participants self-identified to be included in the study, all thinking critically through the definitions of “diversity,” “diversity work(er),” and “game studies.” Thus, this study reports on a tapestry of knowledge and experiences from the various educators and advocates of diversity across academia and the games industry. Diversity workers in Game Studies of Empire are often exploited by their affective attachment to diversity and perform significant unrecognized and uncompensated affective labor. Empire uses diversity workers to produce a quantifiable and tokenizable product of bodies and lived experiences that can be used to further profits for companies, universities, and other institutions. Diversity work(ers) against Game Studies of Empire unite! We will have nothing to lose when we become unchained.

本文以《帝国游戏》为基础，以《帝国游戏研究》中多元化工作者的经验为中心。我们的数据是通过深入调查和半结构化访谈的定性混合方法收集的。自我确定要纳入研究的参与者，所有参与者都通过“多样性”，“多样性工作”和“博弈研究”的定义进行批判性思考。因此，本研究报告了学术界和游戏行业的各种教育家和倡导多样性的知识和经验的挂毯。在《帝国游戏研究》中，多样性工作者经常因对多样性的情感依恋而被利用，并从事大量无法识别和无偿的情感劳动。帝国（Empire）使用多样性工作者来产生可量化和可代币化的尸体和生活经验产品，可用于为公司，大学和其他机构增加利润。反对帝国游戏研究的多样性工作人员团结起来！摆脱束缚，我们将不会有任何损失。
