Let me stop you right there and just briefly say that it isn't insignificant. If they were able to pull it off, it would mean a lot to people like myself who really want to be represented more (or hell, at all) in games. It matters, and is far from insignificant.
I empathize with you here but the comparisons you're making about the complexity of developing certain features are, uh... well I don't they're grounded. Like they're exaggerated for effect.
They're already doing he and she lines, just add a they line. It's a lot better than nothing and minimal effort. I don't think "don't play the game" is an ideal option for customers.
Well phrases like "won't commit" are negative and implied someone or something is avoiding responsibility or explanation.
Are you tone-policing Patrick's take on "we're thinking about it" lol?
Saunts Row had one a slider, I remember a ton of people happy with it. Don't know which specific one though.
No I'm simply stating that Patrick's titles tend to be more inflammatory than the content of his articles. For example the "David Cage hates women" was less about the man himself and more about the shitty tropes he uses when writing his games. "David Cage has a pattern of using tropes harmful to women" is not as exciting huh? Same here "I asked Cdproject about possible gender fluid options in cyperpunk" doesn't have the same bite does it? That's really what the article is about though.
How do you record dialog for every pronoun? There are dozens of commonly used pro nouns.

Curious, it is. Almost like they have an agenda of some sort.
Um in a game where you create your own character it really shouldn't be hard to include more than just the gender binary. By that moto should we just limit character creations to just male, I mean are females worth putting the extra work in for? (hint they are, just like the rest of the LGBTQ community are).
Don't think they're comparable. "We're thinking about it" is classic non-commitment. Haven't you ever said "let me think about it" to a request?
Saints Row never acknowledges the gender of the main character, always using "Boss" or non specific pronouns. This would be an awfully disappointing way for Cyberpunk 2077 to go
Are you seriously calling gender options bourgeois? Jesus wept these shit takes.
Huh my mistake. That article wasn't even written by Patrick. Well my point about the title of this article stands. I still don't agree with the title of the kotaku article but that's off topic.
This sounds just absurd. We've basically seen nothing of the game, and just because they haven't decided yet if there will be something like gender fluidity, they have chosen Cyberpunk just for its aesthetic? How many cyberpunk games are there where you can make a genderfluid character if this is apparently such a hallmark of the the setting?
In comparison to people not physically being able to play the game their are. I just find it funny that you look at an action game and your first thought to bring more people in is non binary genders. I just think at this point a complete re-scripting of the narrative including voice recording is very difficult. Adding an aimbot isn't comparatively. If we are just talking about token support like a slider in the character creator and a pronoun selector it's another story but that comes with its own problems.
. . . because one of the theme's of Cyberpunk 2077 is transhumanism.
Woah I made a mistake, which I noted, and now you're reaching. Why do I have to have a grudge? Why can't I just disagree? Why does there always have to be a conspiracy?
