Watch: Are video games anti-gay?

8 May 2014

The guys over at GameTheory have just released a video that coincidentally hit the public at the same time as Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life LGBTI snafu.

The video — asking if video games are anti-LGBT — touches on quite a lot of the Nintendo history we wrote of in today’s editorial.

It also broadens its search to cover games past and present. In short, the video is definitely worth a look.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
