Carnist and speciesist assumptions make their way into games in many ways, its almost always more satiating to eat flesh in survival games even when abundant plant sources are available, other animals are often treated as resources or objects even when other resource gathering mechanics are available killing other animals is often the only way to progress.

With alien species, if theyre humanoid theyre usually friendly if theyre non-humanoid especially if theyre spiders centipedes or worms or sometimes other bugs theyre hostile

Also many cozy games portray fishing as relaxing when its literally impaling someones mouth with a hook

Sometimes other animals are even reduced to the point of set dressing and killing them has no benefit or drawback whatsoever and their body disappears in a few seconds

In the pokemon series one of the games antagonists are a non human animal rights group, this was undoubtedly a response to critique of the game being pro exploitation and confinement but it comes accross as them doubling down

These things matter not because simulated animals matter but because normalisation of speciesist assumptions subconsciously affects us and it says something about the values game developers have. Thats not to say that fiction can't have elements of speciesism, fictional worlds can be morally imperfect without narratively framing carnism or speciesism as normal natural and necessary.

🎮⏱️ Starting in November, Xbox Game Pass is killing unlimited cloud gaming. Ultimate drops to 15 hours a month, Premium gets 10, Essential gets just 5. Once you burn through it, you either wait for next month or buy extra hours from the Xbox Store, and Microsoft still hasn't said what that'll cost.

Honestly, I thought "unlimited" meant endless usage, not a capped allowance with a meter running. If it was always going to have a ceiling, don't call it unlimited in the first place. For Ultimate subscribers paying $22.99 a month, 15 hours works out to about 30 minutes a day, barely enough to load into a match before you're out.

What is going on in the gaming world lately, lol. Consoles cost more, digital games apparently aren't "owned," and now unlimited doesn't mean unlimited either.
