And that’s not the worst part. Last couple games I checked had such a bad story and writing I didn’t even finish them but for like A LOT of beginning of the story was focusing on genders/sexuality/pronouns of MC and all(!) associated characters.
I wish authors to focus more on actual story and writing, making game and characters interesting than wasting players time on choosing pronouns for half an hour… It became quite popular I’m afraid. And yeah, especially adding “them” is super confusing - additionally put it to the fictional world and you spend ages figuring out what is actually happening right now and how many people are there instead just enjoying game.
