The game was the winner of no less than three awards taking home: Game of the Year, Authentic Representation Award, and Best LGBTQ Character, showing how popular the game is within the LGBTQ community.
While Life is Strange: True Colors took home a plethora of awards, there were huge celebrations to be had for Tanya DePass who picked up the Gayming Icon award, showing how much of a positive impact Tanya has brought to the LGBTQ community within gaming.
