Скачать или смотреть SGGA x Pinkfest Panel: Queer Identity in Games

In collaboration with pinkfest.sg for Pride Month, we hosted an exciting panel about queer identity in games!

Examining video games as a storytelling medium and art form, our panelists, ranging from consumers to game developers, will be introducing games which explore queer identity, what games can do to be more gender-inclusive across intersections and how games can help us become better human beings.

Regardless of whether you're a game consumer or creator, we hope this panel encourages you to see game characters and stories through more informed lens.
