L'industrie du Jeu Vidéo devait bien commencer quelque part ... Ce film documentaire raconte l'histoire de l'industrie britannique des jeux vidéo de 1979 à nos jours.

Le film présente des interviews de grands concepteurs de jeux, journalistes et musiciens britanniques des 30 dernières années.

Gaming in Color (2014)

, 1h2
Genres Documentary
Themes Films about computing, Films about sexuality, LGBT-related films, Documentary films about technology, Films about video games, LGBT-related films, LGBT-related film

Common topics in the film include why games matter, what a game is, what they do for individuals, and how they affect culture are explored. Sexuality in culture bridges the gap to sexuality in games, to make room for the topic of non traditional sexualities and expressions being a part of culture, and thus video games. Hate speech and bigotry are common in online spaces, and how that affects people personally when they play games is commented on. Solutions to harmful activity is postulated, and many point to the GaymerX convention for doing good work in creating a safe space in adding visibility, to influence a more open-minded gaming community, as well as more LGBTQ characters in mainstream games.
