MidBoss is an American video game and media production company that was founded by members of the GaymerX team [1] as they expanded beyond GaymerX into other ventures, specifically Gaming in Color and 2064: Read Only Memories. [2] [3]
On March 26, 2018, Matt Conn stepped down as CEO of MidBoss after allegations of sexual abuse, underpaying workers, and workplace harassment. [4] Cade Peterson was tapped as the new CEO in April 2018.
2064: Read Only Memories is a cyberpunk adventure game, released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, SteamOS, Linux and Ouya on October 6, 2015, and on PlayStation 4 on January 17, 2017. It was successfully funded for $64,378, via Kickstarter on December 12, 2013. [2] [3]
Gaming in Color is a documentary film that focuses on queer gamers and industry workers, and the movement to include LGBTQ characters and themes in video game narratives. This project also received funding through a Kickstarter campaign in May 2013, and was distributed by Devolver Digital [5] into wide release on major platforms on May 19, 2015.
MidBoss was the governing body that ran the first three years of GaymerX, an LGBTQ-oriented gaming and geek culture, or gaymer, convention, with panels primarily focused on LGBTQ issues and debates in the gaming industry, founded by Matt Conn, before they became a 501c3 non-profit in late 2015. It was founded in February 2012 and launched its Kickstarter on August 2, 2012 [6] with a goal of $25,000. It hit its goal within 5 days [7] and ended up raising just over $91,000. The first convention happened on August 3 and 4, 2013 in San Francisco, California. [8]
