That's some master-class mental gymnastics. Go vote. Jesus fucking Christ.

I wonder if those folks who cast a protest vote for Jill Stein will be sleeping soundly tonight... I sure hope not. I hope they're fucking terrified.

Disenfranchising large swaths of states is what the GOP wants to do. Don't play into their hand.

Good thing our justice system is just and fair, and applies equally to everyone regardless of social or economic class, otherwise he might just get away with it!

Which is why they should be at every polling place in the nation. Every single one.

Isn't this also illegal? He promised consideration (e.g. an entry in a sweepstakes) in exchange for specific performance (signing a petition), and is now claiming that the consideration he promised was not given, after people had already performed in accordance with his stated requirements. How is this different than if I tell you I'll give you a lottery ticket if you give me $1, then after receiving the dollar, I decline to give you the ticket?

Take it up with Steam, I guess. Ten seconds on Google could have answered the question before you bought the game. If you feel this strongly about it, maybe you should be checking for each game you buy before you buy them.

Pick Your Path: Character creation is just the beginning. The Nameless One can change his class, alignment, and even gain new abilities based on your choices.

It says nothing about Gender, and it specifically refers to 'his'. This perfectly describes what you can do, so it certainly belongs in the 'Features' section. It also doesn't mention Race or Species; I'd much rather play as a non-human, but I'm not winging about it, because nowhere did the game tell me I could play as a non-human. I'm not going to keep arguing with you about it, because clearly neither of us are making any headway.

Drag is angry about false advertising.

It would only be false advertising if Steam said you could choose your gender when you can't, which they don't.

The games clearly aren't the same, but the premise of Planescape: Torment is that the game is telling you a predefined story about a specific character. That character happens to have lived many, many unique lives. You aren't deciding who he is on a fundamental level, just what his skillset is right now, similar to spending ability points in Witcher. Unlike e.g. Baldur's Gate, where you are a Bhaalspawn but you get to decide the specifics, Torment's protagonist is largely predefined.

Well, since you've invited us to argue...

Drag is absolutely fine if a game has a male protagonist you can’t customise. The Master Chief is fine. Geralt is fine. But when drag is supposed to create a character and put part of dragself into the character, drag doesn’t want to do that with a man.

The Nameless One is not much different from The Master Chief or Geralt. The game is telling the story of a specific character. In this case, that character is a man. The fact that it's based on D&D is kind of irrelevant; it sounds like you made an assumption that wasn't stated anywhere, and are now trying to finagle a refund far outside of the refund window as a result.

While I certainly understand and sympathize with not wanting to play a character that doesn't match your gender, it strikes me as kind of hypocritical to be okay with doing so for some games but not others. Personally I'd say, don't play it if you feel strongly about it, but it's not grounds for a refund.

Refund policy is pretty clear. They make exceptions sometimes but certainly not after 8 months. Maybe just accept that you shouldn't have sat on it for 8 months before installing it if you weren't sure you were going to like it and were going to want a refund otherwise?
