      It’s definitely a genre thing.

      Sim games, platformers, management games, multiplayer shooters etc very rarely bring it into the equation because in those games then either:

      A) There’s no named protagonist at all

      B) The protagonist is ‘You’ so as little as possible is depicted about them to be unobtrusive

      C) The protagonist notionally exists and has a name and depiction, yet they are so irrelevant to the story that no details about them are provided.

      Narrative-driven games are a totally different beast.

          Bro playing Farming Simulator 21 suddenly wondered why he was farming to make all that money, who answers when he calls out, “honey, I’m home!”? When he lives on a map that has no home, just more fields.
