LGBTIQ representation

Video Games

This week on the show, we get a little bit serious and talk about a topic that is often thought about but not often discussed – why are we as an LGBTIQ community not represented properly in the world of video games? With the world moving forward and pop culture becoming more and more accepting of ‘gay culture’, video games still lag behind, which is why it’s so brilliant when companies like Bioware take a stand and give us choice.

But how long will it take before we see a LGBTIQ character on the front cover of a game box? What challenges are there still with this issue? Kev, Luke and Meags break it down, along with first-timer on the show MOBA-lover Finlay, and discuss some of your thoughts on the topic as well.

Also on this episode, the news of the week (of course) and Meags’ review of DragonBall; Xenoverse! It’s a big topic for a big show, so don’t miss it!
