In recent years we have witnessed the birth of a disruptive movement within the videogame scene, the gaymer phenomena, which encompasses LGBTI+ profiles who are assiduous in the use of video games. We will be focusing on the birth, evolution and meaning of this phenomenon, as well as one of its most interesting manifestations: queer videogames, understood as an experimentation field for independent experiences from the traditional video game market, which introduces suggestive novelties in terms of narratives and mechanics to the current video game scene.
