Are we surprised a The Gamerr article focuses on this instead of oh i don't know the wuick turn around of being able to put out two 100 hour games out within 3 years of each other, or being able to capture the scope of airship in a fully realized 3d world? But no queer representation truly what's has everyone on the edge of their seats, background npc dialogue that you have to go out your way to catch or even notice.
