This reminds me of the game Lunacid. It has mandatory pronoun selection at the beginning and there are like 20 of them. Every NPC refers to you only by name so the pronoun selection was put in specifically to annoy gamer chuds and I'm all for it

That game sounds awesome
Putting on mongolian throat singing and playing my horseman mail delivery simulator.
Sounds like a less pompous and more grounded Death Stranding. Sounds great!
I'm into it but I'm very fucking pissed we got Horse Stranding before Bicycle Stranding
What's the setting for bike stranding?
- Think Last of Us, 50:50 on the not-zombies, crucially, everyone didn't fucking forget bicycles existed
-- possibly also STALKER or METRO-like setting
But honestly pick any. Anywhere there is fuel scarcity bicycles would make sense.
Dangers and challenges include those fucking "goat head" thorns that pop tires.
Dude. Those fucking things. You know they can lay dormant for like a decade+ in the soil? The devil made those things. Ho hum just pulling weeds and five inches under the soil one of those fuckers goes straight through my glove and right into the tip of my finger under the nail. Basketball rolls off the court into the weeds by the school, pick it up and throw it back, friend that catches it screams because one of those fuckers hitched a ride and slammed into his palm at 25 miles per hour. All true stories from my life.
What the fuck they're literally wooden caltrops, those are from satan

It sounds like the best parts of RDR2 - they've taken out all that annoying combat to focus on hanging out with your horse!!!
Holy fuck yes it does
Notice how 99% of the time, anyone who replied negatively was pathetic enough to pay for twitter 🤔
I need to know the origin of this gif.

They really, really think that Concord failed because of Woke huh?
At some level, that these anti-“woke” g@mers are effectively apologizing for and distracting from the things that are actually a problem with the industry right now annoys me more than the bigotry. No no, don’t be complaining about microtransactions and live service and season pass models and paint-by-numbers hero shooters, the problem is woman with spunky hair cuts in vidya.
I think one of the primary reasons why I didn't become a chud is that I came to a very important realization
Not everything is for me, and that doesn't mean that it's stupid or woke, it's just not something that fits my taste
The pipeline from 13th century Mongolia with no combat? Sounds lame to They're ruining video gaming with woke pronouns and femoid gays is actually more like a water slide
They weren't going to play the game anyway unless they were going to make a Youtube video about it where they rage about it while wearing sunglasses and swigging whiskey while being as emotionally constipated as possible.

These people don't actually like or respect games, they like being catered to.
Yep
They think they're like some Lorenzo De Medici rich art patron
They're just hogs at the trough

these people sure have a very limited set of games they can play now aint it
The most 
gate pandering game imaginable was "Subverse," which was crowdfunded by gaters and even advertised directly to them. It was a waifu harem porn game in space with a vague gameplay loop and no "politics" in a way that'd upset gaters.
They apparently found it boring and it didn't really make a splash.
They're playing the games anyway and their steam accounts prove it.
They just don't count the ones they like. Baldurs gate 3 is the prime example.
sometimes i wonder how these dorks would react if they opened up an english grammar book, seeing as how they keep freaking out at the mere existence of a vital part of every language in the world
i wonder if in the future there will be a reich-wing dialect of english where it just gets rid of pronouns altogether from the parts of speech and the english language because oOgA bOoGa ProNouns sCaWy... somehow. and replace them with nouns/names.
The thing that pisses me off endlessly about this is that they act like they're mad about the concept of pronouns, which makes them look like childish morons, but what they're actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them. Just say that!
but what they're actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them.
I think they're just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.
It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.
Take this further, many of them probably wouldn't think of trans people as real people if it wasn't for their representation in media. That's why they take the fight to the treat factory.

you know this bozo wouldn't play the game unless his character and his horse had DDD booba, jiggiling boobily in customizable matching leather and polished silver string bikinis.
What about the horses pronouns?
I hope they add neigh/nem just for the blue check chuds lol
E: neigh, not nay
It takes 120 hours of developer time for each pronoun, making the game more expensive for everyone 😔
They're manually typing out every string with different pronouns, like
SHE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "She has the fastest horse."
HE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "He has the fastest horse."
THEY_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "They have the fastest horse."
ZIE_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has the fastest horse."
FRENCH_FAST_HORSE_DIALOGUE = "Zie has zie fastest horse hohohoh~"

"For every comment whining about DEI in my Mongolian courier rider game I will add one extra pronoun"
Death Stranding on horseback? I would play that in a heartbeat
Every time someone complains about pronouns, they will be assigned one (1) additional pronoun
