Rainbow Game Jam have revealed the 2021 Queer In Games List identifying 50 people in the industry whose efforts thus far have made the industry a more welcoming and safer space for the LGBTQ+ community.
This was a new campaign for the Rainbow Game Jam team but it aligned with their core value of being a platform to highlight and support LGBTQ+ developers, content creators and their work.
