This is "Press Gay to Play" - a 47-minute celebration of incredible LGBTQIA+ indie games that was the heart of Rainbow Tech Fest 2025's opening ceremony. This showcase isn't just about games - it's about our experiences, our creativity, and our joy. Every developer featured here is crafting something that matters, something that represents us. These are windows into queer stories, featuring everything from action-adventure titles to cozy simulation games, visual novels with LGBTQIA+ themes, and horror/mystery games with queer protagonists. This showcase was part of RTF's mission to uplift LGBTQIA+ talent in tech and streaming, especially supporting those impacted by layoffs and seeking career paths outside traditional routes.
Demand rose after the show
Not measured: none of the 22 games had a reading from before the show.
