Tied to your Steam ID

Steam Early Access survival gameRustis no stranger to controversy — having madeplayers’ in-game penis size based on their Steam ID— and it looks like there is about to be another one.

In the latest update,Rusthas made gender assignment tied to your Steam ID, meaning players have no choice in the matter of whether they are male or female. Some vocal players are upset by this change, but everything about the player’s character has always been randomly generated, perhaps to simulate being born into the real world.

Developer Garry Newman hadpreviously said, “We’re not ‘taking the choice away’ from you. You never had a choice. A man’s voice coming out of a woman’s body is no more weird than an 8-year-old boy’s voice coming out of a man’s body.”

This update released besides a plethora of other changes which you cancheck out on the developer’s blog.
