    This reminds me of the ultra edgy survival vaguely-zombie-themed game “Rust” which had white supremacist gangs and the like which took a massive beating when a new patch of the game made people’s skin colors and other attributes based on a procedurally generated seed that was unique to each Steam account.

        That game was so clownishly edgy that it had some rather direct parallels to the notorious tabletop game F.A.T.A.L.

            The guy was That Guy who was all like “How come elves who can live thousands of years have the same level of experience as humans whose bodies are only able for about 50 years”, or “how come everyone is an adventurer”, or “how is it that there’s almost no racism in a world based on medieval Europe”, and then made an age-based level system, a job system where 95% of them are pointless, and a racism system where there’s only three races that are not “kill anyone else on sight” in the entire game, without any thought as to how this would work as a game.

      When I played GTA Online I made a character sort of loosely based on Omar Little from the wire, I got called the n-word so often on mic it was surreal (I’m white IRL).

      Rust is great. Still a fair amount of nazis. Just makes it easier to prioritize bases to destroy. 14th most played game on steam right now. What was edgy about it? Always seemed pretty standard to me.

        I think it was mainly the player base that was the edgiest part of it.

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard is such a clunky name

    Why is there a “The” in the middle? It doesn’t sound right. Dragon Age: Veilguard is significantly better and that’s without even looking at other name options.

        I think it’s the group name. It’s “the veilguard” in the same sense as “the Marx brothers” or “the Avengers.”

          Dragon Age: Marx Brothers still sounds better than Dragon Age: The Marx Brothers

          what sounds even better is Dragon Age: Marx and Engels (the dragon is capitalism you have to slay or something, idk I’ve never played Dragon Age)

        tbf I haven’t looked at the new lore yet but even still in the last game you were the Inquisition and it’s still only called Dragon Age: Inquisition

        to be even more fair it’s clunky but the dumbest name will always belong to DA2 for having a number instead of a subtitle

          It actually was going to have just a subtitle, but the suits decided that people wouldn’t know its a sequel if it isn’t number 2.

    Write into the user agreement that everyone scrolls past that the user agrees to take hormones and to put their heart and soul into fully transitioning as soon as possible and then pour the rest of your resources into your legal department to make the gamers understand that they signed a legally binding contract and are going to have to live up to their promise if they ever want to be seen as adults.

      the precedent would be horrific when used for other non-transitioning things, unfortunately

      I mean forcing someone to transition in the first place is horrific too

        You are correct of course, but if someone sat us down and explained to us what we had actually agreed to after we clicked past one of those user agreements I’m pretty sure it would be very different from a forced transition but not all that much better morally.
