Gayming Magazine is delighted to announce it has won the award for ‘Global Games Gender Diversity Initiative of the Year’ at the inaugural Women in Games Global Games Awards!

The event took place this past weekend, streamed to a lively mixture of nominees, conference goers, and supporters of Women in Games. Gayming Magazine is hugely grateful for the nomination and the win.

In addition to Gayming Magazine, the award was also presented to Code Coven and WINGS Fund (both from UK), plus Women in Games Quarantine (from Spain).
