Is diversity in videogames important to you? I don’t care if gay characters become extremely prevalent in games. It’s a question of the reality of a story. If a story like Mass Effect, in a universe that is so complete, doesn’t have any gay humans and there isn’t even a reference to why, then I’m troubled by it. Granted, in a game like Super Mario Bros. I don’t need a gay Mario. [Laughs] But it’s always disappointing when something in any medium has a weak storyline and doesn’t obey its own “ghost rules”—that’s a term my dad uses to describe a fictional scenario that breaks its own logic. From today’s interview with Anticon electro hero Baths.
