RimWorld Developer's response
They also never found out that you don't need to manually harvest potatoes.
RimWorld Developer's response
PCGamer have since added a NOTE "clarifying" the fact that " some of RimWorld's backstories were created by Kickstarter backers. ". They have also closed the comment section.I usually wouldn't comment on reviews but this part of @PCGamer's review needs addressing. All trans character descriptions were written by players through our "Backstory in Game" program. I don't think it's my place to censor how people describe their own experiences.
This part of the review implies that I, as the developer, was supposed to be writing trans backstories in a more correct way. But what words can possibly be more correct than the actual words of a trans person?
We were inclusive to the varied self-perspectives of our diverse players - and it's used as a point against the game. The review gives no indication of where the quoted words came from, misleading readers into thinking that it was all written by some misguided game writer.
I am asking PCGamer to issue a correction to clarify that these words they're calling "reductive" and "bad taste" were written by players describing their own trans self-perspectives, not by a game writer.
They also never found out that you don't need to manually harvest potatoes.
