One of my fave podcasts. Listened every week for Yeeeeeeeears. Great reporting from two really good humans - which is sadly not something we can always say. Plus: You were great! 👏🪩👏

erm, Craig Mazin recommended VGIM’s first ever report about censorship of LGBTQ+ — funded by @outmakinggames.bsky.social — video games to listeners of his podcast. Avoid the dreadful AI transcription by listening here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Policy win! For the first time, official UK statistics will identify the games industry. The 2026 SIC update creates dedicated classifications for publishing, development, game software and esports - a change secured through Ukie’s advocacy work. Better classification means better policy.

Steam did not respond to a request for comment on the piece. However, @outmakinggames.bsky.social described the move as "deeply disturbing" - criticising it for banning a title from a queer owned studio without warning.
