In response to increasing demands from the LGBTQ community to support and promote their agenda, Epic Games has initiated a unique campaign for Fortnite. The company is offering players 200,000 in-game currency, known as “Vbucks,” for creating and sharing YouTube videos of themselves dressed in drag, including the use of photo avatars. This move comes during Pride Month and aims to encourage inclusivity and representation within the gaming community. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has taken to Twitter to highlight this initiative, garnering attention and sparking conversations across social media. While some view this as a positive step towards supporting LGBTQ visibility, others express concerns regarding the implications of encouraging younger players to participate in such activities. This campaign reflects ongoing efforts by various organizations to enhance LGBTQ representation in gaming and to foster an environment where all players feel welcomed and celebrated.
