Going indie
As an indie enthusiast, Scott has become committed to helping those in the sector.
"Opening doors for minorities, being inclusive, and enabling success for everyone in the indie space is a priority for me. It brings me joy. I can't wait to continue this work with all of you. We have an opportunity to make things better for others and educate while making great games," said Scott.
In February, former Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Amie departed the company.
