Games [4Diversity] at Vienna Pride!

by | May 25, 2022

For the first time, Games [4Diversity] is joining the Vienna Rainbow Pride! Our cheerful group of Austrian queer game developers and allies walk along the Ringstrasse of Vienna, breaking stereotypes by showing the game industry’s most vibrant side! 

Austrian devs show their colors

The Games [4Diversity] pride group consists of queer Austrian game developers, breaking the stereotype that games are made by straight cis men in black t-shirts. The group experiments with the gender of their favorite game character. What would a feminine Link, a masculine Princess Peach, or an androgynous Aloy look like? Expect a colorful group where you will see game characters in a different light. A group where everyone is welcome to show their own interpretations of those characters. We celebrate games as an expression of diversity in gender, sexuality, and love!

You’re invited to celebrate with us by joining or cheering us on!

As a non-profit organization run by driven volunteers, Games [4Diversity] relies on the support of companies and individuals to organize our pride events for queer game developers. All donations go directly towards the organizational costs such as boat rent (for Utrecht), equipment, decoration, and drinks. We typically fund about 40% ourselves and 30% is covered by ticket sales.

For the remaining 30%, we are looking for companies that are interested in supporting our message of diversity & inclusion in video games. Please contact us to discuss our sponsor options, or simply use the donation button below.
