Making a game about building relationships involving a player made avatar and not putting in some basic orientation options to reflect the lives of your potential audience either because you deliberately wanted to exclude them or because you forget they exist is somewhat of a "hurtful message". I can not understand why people like you are getting upset over the fact that people want some equal representation in a game where it would be entirely appropriate and at the expense of nobody.
It's at the expense of devs not being able to make the game they want to make without having to respond to a bunch of annoying brats feeling left out. Not everything has to cater to or include every group of people. It's selfish to feel shunned because you weren't included in everything or everyone is not kissing your ass the way you want them too.
Did you even read the article? It would be cool if what you said was true. But it's not. It's a bunch of whiny, crybabies feeling the need to be included in everything. And overly compassionate people like you are the wind beneath their self entitled wings.
"Cruz pointed out that The Sims, one of the first mainstream games to allow same-sex relationships, was released over a decade ago. Many major game franchises have followed suit in supporting same-sex relationships, including Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Fable. "Nintendo should do the same," Cruz said."
That sounds a lot like self entitlement to me. Bioware caters to the gay community so Nintendo should too. Lmao! Billy's school offers vegetarian dishes for lunch. Our school should too.
There are no jamaican protagonists in Uncharted. Naughty Dog must have forgotten jamaicans exist. There are no obese female fighters in Dead Or Alive. DOA devs must have forgotton obese women exist. COD Ghosts has no rottweilers or pit bulls, just a german shepard. COD must have forgotten other breeds of dogs exist. My point is where does 'equal representation' start and end?
There is no way to represent everyone in everything. There will always be someone who feels they were misrepresented or not represented at all. You can't please all of the people all of the time. Nor should you try to.
So from here on out, every single game with romance options that doesn't include alternative lifestyles is sending out a 'hurtful message'? How did they deliberately exclude gay people? How did they forget gay people exist?
