Authentic Queer Representation in Games Narrative

Although nearly 1 in 5 gamers identify as LGBTQ+, less than 2% of console games feature queer storylines. Writers Errol Seymour (Jagex) and Gavin Spoors (Fairer Games) talk all things queer narrative, from seasonal Pride events to crafting authentic gameplay interactions.

Be inspired to unapologetically explore queer storylines within your own work, and to get involved with queer gaming communities.
