"We want everyone experience the range of diversity bubbling just below the surface of gaming, whether that’s by getting hands-on with the games or watching a beautiful array of diverse streamers find pieces of themselves in the works of queer developers," said Cade Peterson, CEO of Read Only Memories: Neurodiver (opens in new tab) developer MidBoss, which organized the Summer of Pride event.
"Spotlighting creators and media with positive LGBTQ+ representation in characters and storylines saves lives by showing queer youths they are not alone."
The Summer of Pride 2020 Steam Sale runs until June 25. Along with the sale, Midboss is also hosting a wider Summer of Pride event featuring daily streamers raising funds for Trans Lifeline (opens in new tab), The Trevor Project (opens in new tab), and GaymerX (opens in new tab), and another sale scheduled for June 20-30 on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Full details are up at summerofpride.tv (opens in new tab).
