I think that makes sense for games in which you create your own character. Sometimes a game tells a story with a specific protagonist though and they aren’t meant to be “you”.
Yes, you want representation and the ability for people to play as someone like them. But we also can just tell stories about a character without needing to make the story for every character.
Adding women, anyone not white, or different gender and sexual orientations was notable because they were very underrepresented.
Women were by and large not saying they couldn’t play games as men, just that they’d like more chances to be women.
I think Im missing the issue here. Wasn’t the same argument used for adding female characters to games and transgender characters later on?
Kinda thought that’s the goal, for everyone to be represented if possible. That said, I’m looking forward to game being focused on Ciri
