Devs didnt lie or say anything wrong.

You’re mixing up God Of War and Alan Wake.

Why are you asking “why is this person gay” in a videogame? It doesn’t need to have anything to do with the fucking plot; there are gay people in real life, sometimes that’s just a person.

The people that thought a fucking pride flag in the Hall of Justice was Suicide Squad’s greatest problem are the people currently trying to push Sweet Baby as the newest “woke” boogeyman. Pro tip, Suicide Squad’s biggest problems weren’t a scary flag or Harley turning down her old costume, it was that Suicide Squad…

Saga being a Black woman is perfectly integrated into the story and even adds to the story during an early investigation scene.

One image showed several pictures of the protagonist Eve from Korean developer ShiftUp’s upcoming action game Stellar Blade, juxtaposed against female characters from Overwatch, Forspoken, and Life is Strange. “Embrace tradition. Reject modernity” is emblazoned on the collage.

This whole deal, is, by far, the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my 34 years of existence. What in the actual fuck is this, and what kind of absolute fucking imbecile would pay for any of this? What is this for? What is the purpose? What are you even “playing”?

This is like writing an article in 2011 saying “After Rebecca Black’s smash hit “Friday,” Taylor Swift better come out swinging!”

Barring an absolute miracle, Palworld will be a footnote or a snarky meme reference in T-minus 6 months once the player base dwindles to .0001% of its current peak. Just because game website…

Thousand Year Door sooner than later would be nice. 

The only reason I have Disney+ is for The Simpsons.

Dedicated to the Steelworkers of America. Keep reaching for that rainbow!

That whole episode is good, but I would argue that the best Simpsons needle drop was Homer’s walk-in music when he fought Drederick Tatum - War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”

The homophobia is absolutely brutal, and its a genre that still hews slavishly to the male gaze.

So like, as I have grown in the years since first playing Persona 5, not only is the absence and hostility towards queerness, but the idea that as a male protagonist I just have this buffet of women at my beck and call and…

The casual brutal homophobia on JRPGs that is never, ever, covered by even this media, and I am looking at some writers here who were supposed to be very concerned about representation...

I thought the article made it clear enough that there is quite enough queer players to generate a big profit if games catered at them as well. This is the thing, we queer people play straight characters all the time. It would be a bonus to have a bit of non normative content in rpg romances for example.

Heck, with the Persona games there’s a huge uproar over ‘censorship’ when we are removed as a cultural punching bag.

Like, if I had a nickel for how many times Atlus inserted queer people into a comic relief scene just to make them seem predatory and then removed it later I would have 2 nickels but its still…

Speaking for myself, I’m more concerned with the appearances of my avatars in game. I want to play a more handsome avatar, I want any romantic potential to be appealing as well, if any. X-shaming (as in fat shaming, beauty shaming, etc) has had more of an affect of my purchasing power than LBGT inclusion. Theres a…

There was a good Game Maker’s Toolkit video about how Naughty Dog does stuff to guide people to do certain tasks, like birds flying in the direction where they want you to go (I think it’s called How Drake Navigates without a Compass or something like that.)

Doom also has an extremely stylized color pallet. It’s mostly Mars/Hell, so everything is red and having a contrast color works, especially when the green lights were usually from man-made objects. In a game like FF7r, the color pallet is different depending on where you go, and if you were in a largely green environme…
