"I am delighted we were able to finally celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQ gaming community. Each year I’m thrilled at what new stories of success we unearth. The Gayming Awards are on a journey of evolution, and I’m honored that we’re able to celebrate the best our community has to offer. We’re a small company that has been greatly affected by the global economy and this has caused some issues within our community.
