7:58Now PlayingGamers are ‘rioting’ over RunesScape’s LGBT Pride event. Grace Baldridge, John Iadarola, Kim Horcher, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“The developers of long-running online video game RuneScape have been barraged with homophobic abuse after trying to hold an in-game Pride event.

The update had been teased by one of the game’s developers, Mod Wolf, who took to Twitter to announce the plans.”
