Welcome to Gay For Play! A podcast where we take a look at the world of gaming through a queer lens.   This week, the CATEGORY IS: Summer Gaming Announcements! E3 may be six feet under girl, but in its wake we've still gotten a *lot* of cool announcements this month, with various publishers & gaming companies big & small holding virtual press conferences to show off new and upcoming games. We watched through most of them and picked over 40 video games to discuss in this episode! Below is a list of everything we discuss in this episode, including links to watch each presentation. If any of these games pique your interest, make sure to wishlist them on Steam! (especially for indie games, it's a great and easy way to support the developers!)
