I'm late to this thread, but, if you want a challenge, here's an idea...

Make two simple games... like, maybe Pong and Asteroids, but, set it up so that the player can swap between the two games at will (maybe by pressing the TAB key, for example). However, both games should still be actively running even when not actively being played. Maybe, for fairness and an additional challenge, if one of the games isn't actively being played, it still updates, but the updates are at half speed.

Is this a solid game idea? Probably not... but it would be a fun challenge to see if it can be pulled off smoothly.

To flip this argument... Are the vegetables from a black farmer worse than a white farmer? Do queer farmers make worse cheese than a straight farmer? I somehow doubt it. Therefore, if output is equal, maybe it's time to spread the love to these black and queer farmers.

You say, "in the end, it's a matter of skill and you can have that regardless of your sexuality or skin color"... and that sounds great, on it's face, but using that as your argument now, when, statistically, it's shown over and over again that skill is rarely the factor that matters, is disingenuous. When we, as a society, can get to a point where we can regularly show that, statistically, race and sexuality (or any other reason humanity chooses to use to make "others" out of our fellows) truly do not effect ones prosperity, then, and only then, would your statement hold any meaning.

Just to be technical, here... Those past games, BG1 and BG2, utilized a very different ruleset (the ADND ruleset, if I recall correctly) to the ruleset BG3 utilized (5e). While they share a lineage, ADND and 5e are quite different.

I was in college for Computer Science when these ads must have just started because in a Computer Ethics class, I remember the teacher actually using "you wouldn't download a car, would you" argument.

I recall answering... "Would the original owner still have their copy? Yes? Then yes, yes I would download a car." The teacher did not like me.

Unless it's an e-ink screen... then, it doesn't emit light
