| The State of LGBTQIA+ Gaming in 2026: Where Did All the Queer Characters Go? (feat. Dr Xavier Ho) | 27 Jul 2026 | 00:39:31 | |
Dr Xavier Ho returns for a second week running — same shirts, narrative continuity intact — for a proper conversation about where queer gaming actually sits in 2026.

Davey has noticed the platforms, storefront features and Pride Month spotlights quietly disappearing. Xavier, fresh off six months of leave, has been playing nothing but indie games — and that's where all the queer stories are. In this episode:

Is this the end of AAA as we know it — or the start of a proper double-A renaissance? In this episode:
