Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Why there are few video games other than Smite that have almost all of the known mythological pantheons? (fedia.io)

That game has over 130 mythological characters, and nearly 20 pantheons. Most other mythology-themed games only represent overused pantheons, without representing the less known ones.

On the same note, the target audience is mostly white dudes. It's a lot easier to sell them the fantasy of playing as / fighting against Thor, Zeus, or Hercules than it is to get them excited about some character they've never heard of and can't even pronounce the name.
