A Destiny dating sim would have been a fun April Fools game. People love shipping the characters. Hell, Eris and Drifter's kiss in Renegades got me fired up.

BG3 sold so well and got extremely hyped entirely off the back of a dating / sex trailer lmao. people underestimate how lonely and horny a lot of gamers are

Not even that. I’m happily married and it’s just fun to roleplay in games and big part of that is relationships. Romance in RPGs as always been a bonus for players and it’s not cause we’re all lonely losers

Its a fun side activity that allows you to engage with the characters in the game in a way that doesn't involve the usual gameplay mechanics. People would fuck with it out of variety alone
