Sobbing over a simulation? Same.

Whether you fancy Fortnite or farm simulators, GTA or girlsgogames.com, the game is on. Tell us about your most epic battle, endearing build, or eternal bond. Wail about a weird glitch or weigh in on world-building. Charm us with custom content creations. Confess your favourite cheat codes.

If you’ve ever been accused of only playing for the plot, now’s your time to shine. Tell us how games “control” gender and how you play with it as a gamer.
