Ekamy and I played a lot of queer game demos this week, as part of Steam Next Fest!

This week's headlines include the future of “The Last of Us” series, tariffs affecting physical media, Fable got delayed, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is being given out for FREE (kinda), and much more!

Steam’s Next Fest is a big deal, because there’s always lots of upcoming indie games to try — which means brand new LGBTQ+ games!! We played a bunch of them and share our thoughts! See timecodes for specific games.

ALSO: I’ve introduced a new segment going forward: Queer Game of the Week! Tune in to hear all about Ekamy’s pick, and the criteria for what qualifies! Each week, the show will highlight a different queer game, so don’t miss it!
