When asked about the importance of LGBTQ+ representation in gaming, Darion Lowenstein said the following:
“Representation isn’t a nice-to-have.
It’s the difference between someone feeling like they exist in this world or they don’t.”
Trixie Mattel also said the following:
“Video games have been with me since I was 5 years old and, in a way, were my first deep love.
The art and storytelling of games has been with me longer than the art and storytelling of my drag.”
