Warriors and Survivors eSports Gaming Lounge

What Warriors and Survivors eSports Gaming Lounge does

Inclusion Arcade (formerly Warriors and Survivors eSports Gaming Lounge) is a federally registered Canadian nonprofit organization, also registered in the United States via an Employer Identification Number, that operates an adaptive gaming and inclusive community-programming platform. The organization serves four primary populations — cancer patients and survivors, 2SLGBTQ2I+ individuals, neurodivergent individuals, and people with physical disabilities — through a physical community gaming lounge, public events, free gaming sessions, and a structured portfolio of programs including adaptive gaming, consultation services, the Inclusive Play Foundations™ educational course, and the C.A.R.E. tech-recycling/redistribution program that supplies refurbished consoles and computers to underserved communities.

The technical foundation rests on adaptive gaming equipment (specialized controllers and accessibility hardware) integrated with partner-provided capability layers: Logitech G hardware, Cephable AI accessibility software, reWASD controller remapping, Playability inclusive gaming tools, and the Taming Gaming Database (2,339 video games and 191 board games) used as the curated content library. The organization does not develop proprietary AI or gaming software itself; it acts as an integrator and operator of partner-supplied technology in service of its mission.

The business model is philanthropy-first rather than commercial. Primary funding flows through donations processed via the Streamlabs Charity platform (powered by Logitech G and Stripe), supplemented by merchandise sales through a Shopify storefront, professional consultation services for organizations implementing inclusive gaming, and educational revenue from the Inclusive Play Foundations™ course. Go-to-market is community-led: the organization reaches beneficiaries via direct community engagement, public events, advocacy networks, and partnerships with nonprofits serving its target communities. Geographic scope is North America, with primary registration in Canada and auxiliary US tax/operational registration.
