minus-squareBilb!@lem.monsterlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·4 days agoI don’t think its ethical to portray straight people in video games at all.
minus-squareDdCno1@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 days agoBioware is well ahead of you. Haven’t most of their romanceable NPCs been bisexual for ages now?
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 days agoAny game that doesn’t make all NPCs “opportunistically bisexual” pisses me off. Quit locking content behind my character’s pronouns.

minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoYeah, I’m usually only playing games once. I don’t want to be forced to replay just to see content like that.
