| OpenRA: Dune 2000 | OpenRA developers | 2015 | A note about gender. There is no option for the player to choose the gender of their commander. But nothing in the game imposes gender on the commander that the player chooses. Commanders are not referred to with gender specific pronouns. Within the Dune universe, there are males, females, and then the concept of gender fluidity or gender malleability. There's nothing in the Dune universe to suggest that the position of commander of any of the three Noble Houses would be limited by gender of any sort. Though, no commander is going to be a Bene Gesserit (who have their own very specific gender uniquities), but that's for reasons having nothing to do with gender. Players can imagine the gender of their commander however they want to. | labelimageminimize |
| Kerbal Space Program | Squad;Take-Two Interactive (Squad) | 2015 | Tag notes. Accepting a contract that gives an advance does not even suggest to the player that using that money elsewhere is always unethical and also nearly always illegal. In fact, there is no enforcement; cancellation, completion, or failure of the contract and modification of reputation, science points, and/or funds are the only rules. This makes embezzlement very easy and useful with no consequences (should the contract be fulfilled on time using replacement funds) to the game or the conscience of the protagonist or the actual player (unless the player knows about real embezzlement. Many children and some adults do not, or won't recognize when they are doing it in the game). An extreme example of locationaldamage in the game would be having a only center connecting part of a rocket explode due to heat from reentry friction. The remaining two rocket parts could continue falling undamaged. They could each land safely if they each had antiquate parachutes or a functioning command module and fueled engine to land softly. The two parts could even reconnect into a sing craft if equipped with compatible docking ports (and if a skillful player could align them _during reentry_). | labelminimizeminimize |
