The great RPG debate: Do RPGs really need romanceable companions?

RPG developers have faced challenges in incorporating romance into video games, leading to a noticeable absence of romance in many titles. BioWare popularized romanceable companions with games like Baldur's Gate 2, influencing even non-RPG titles. While romance is not strictly necessary in RPGs, some games, like Baldur's Gate 3, integrate it into the narrative to enhance character development. However, the portrayal of characters as universally available for romance raises questions about authenticity. Other games, such as Fable, approach romance humorously, allowing multiple marriages without emotional depth. Harvey Randall argues that romance is vital for character development and exploring themes of intimacy and trust, suggesting it enriches RPG narratives.

Subnautica 2 is responsible for Krafton’s ‘record second quarter performance’ despite the messy legal battle and accusations of sabotage

Subnautica 2 launched in early access in May 2025 after facing corporate turmoil, including the removal of Unknown Worlds' leadership by Krafton and allegations of sabotage. Krafton accused the studio heads of neglect, while the ousted leadership claimed Krafton was stalling to avoid a financial obligation. Despite these challenges, Subnautica 2 sold 5 million copies shortly after its release. Unknown Worlds' CEO, Ted Gill, left his position amid the turmoil, and staff were set to receive bonuses from the earnout. Krafton reported record revenues of KRW 1.29 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 410.9 billion, largely attributed to Subnautica 2 and the PUBG franchise. PC revenue exceeded KRW 500 billion for the first time, but Krafton faced a net profit deficit of KRW 29.9 billion due to costs from acquiring Unknown Worlds and the earnout.
