Happy Pride! And for those unaware, June is the month-long celebration of all things LGBTQIA+, where we push boundaries, e𝐆xtend inclusivity, and generally celebrate diversity in all facets of humanity.
In the gaming world, Pride comes with some pretty great freebies. You can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:downlo𝔉🐈ad Tell Me Why and keep it forever all month long on any storefront where you can find it, and now 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Apex Legends is handing out free badges to show your Pride suppor🐲t.
Respawn Entertainment just posted a video introducing the n🍌ew Pride badge as well as several LGBTQIA+ team members, including senior live artist Jaclyn Yuan, operations manager Annelie Fors, and associate quality designer Mackenzie Galbraith, who described the origins of the Pr🧸ide badge as coming from earlier work on the .
“When I saw that, it inspired me to email Chad [Grenier, Apex Legends game director] just out of the blue and say, ‘Hey, I think we should do this,’” recounts Galbraith. “And the response was like, ‘That's a great idea. We've already got p🅘eople working on something, but we'd love an extr♏a voice to get in here and help show the way.’"
Apex Legends' Pride badge is based on the most current iteration of the Pride flag by Daniel Quasar, a graphic designer that redesigned the Pride flag to be more inclusive by adding colors from the Trans flag as🐬 well as black and brown stripes for people of color.
Given Apex has perhaps the most diverse of characters for any video game, this Pride badge is the perfect way to celebrate Pride and show your support. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Master Chief would approve.
Not everyone is getting Pride month as right as Respawn Entertainment. Netherrealm thought that it was appropriate to celebrate pride by tweeting about how many people have beat up Poison Ivy in Injustice 2, an openly bisexual character. The tweet was quickly taken down and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Netherrealm issued a public apology.
