The Queue: Too many games edition

What a time to be a gamer. We live in a golden age of video gaming, in which there is a constant deluge of new, great, innovative titles everywhere — and this week in particular is jam-packed with indie game showcases highlighting the weird and the wonderful (and the weird). Of course we also live in an age of big-budget live service games packed with must-have microtransactions, so maybe on the whole it balances out.

But I’m trying to focus on the positive here, which is the many new games hitting my Steam wishlist.

(Is that a positive? Hm.)

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I make my best attempt to answer your gaming questions. Let’s get to it.


The Queue: LGBTQueueIA+

It’s Pride Month, which has increasingly been co-opted by companies trotting out the same ol graphic year after year to celebrate. As tiresome and disingenuous as that may be, it does make me a little hopeful, in that if it weren’t profitable for them to puke rainbows, they wouldn’t do it.  And conversely, for some, the message of being unrepentantly visible about supporting Pride will outweigh any consequence.

When I say that you matter, that you deserve the right to not only exist but thrive, and I’m happy you’re here, I truly mean that.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we don’t really have any answers but we’re still showing up anyway.
