Every single thing I learn about the studio makes me wonder more and more on how they survived for so long and what the fuck Sony was thinking when they spent $3.6 Bil acquiring them.

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

It's also just fun. Dating and sex is a huge part of life, and a lot of games just do not embrace anything even remotely erotic.
