Why do so few fantasy games allow you to disable spiders?

Many people can't play games with spiders in them, yet devs just ignore the issue.

I was actually kind of surprised to find that so many people have such a big problem with spiders in games.

I don't really blame them, though. I can definitely understand it.
>>
>>321035765
Fear of spiders seems to be on a whole other level. People can play games with a lot of other stuff that should scare them (and most likely would if they encountered it in real life), and yet the spiders stand out. There seems to be something uniquely troubling about them.

Why? Having a spider over your bed is a good omen as it will get you rid of those pesky flies and other insects.
Arachnids are the ultimate predator only if you're under 2cm and I don't see how one of us could hurt one of you.

There is literally nothing wrong with spiders.
Don´t fear them, I mean they are practically harmless, at least most us them are. They are also cute.

Why? I could understand if it was a poisonous insect or something that really hurts (hornet), but anything else is just harmless.

This. I have a borderline phobia of insects(including spiders) in general and I've never been that bothered by fictional insects.

Pictures of real ones can set me of depending on the type. But not you know, CGI ones.

By borderline phobia I mean I once spent 2 hours in the middle of the night moving my furniture out of the way because one of those long legged fly's hid somewhere in my room(that turned out to be fucking dead in the first place).
Then I spent the next 1 hour trying to fall asleep while thinking about the fact that I saw a dead fly.

I don't know, it's a "better safe than sorry" kind of thing. Even if i know that it's just another one of those harmless stinky bugs that can only make your hands smell like shit after touching them i'm still not touching those cunts. The fact that it takes almost no effort to get gloves on before throwing that shit outta balcony helps.

I am not going batshit crazy and jumping around while crying like a girl kind of scared. More like "oh that disgusting piece of shit i ain't touching that cunt unless i'm slamming him into the table so fast i won't feel it" which makes shit dirty so yeah, i dunno.

Remember i used to play with spiders and other insect shit as a kid, not sure what changed.

Huntsmen aren't actually that bad. They're big an scary but they don't really care about humans, along with not being venomous. They get their name from the fact that they hunt for their prey rather than build webs, which means they tend to end up in houses from time to time. Most people try to escort them out.
>>
>>321036783
There also the fear of small holes. I yet seen anyone outright piss their pants or anything over it, at most it is just idiots on tumblr or Youtube that simply state they feel uncomfortable around them or feel gross out depending on the image.

The whole point of these games is setting out into the big dangerous unknown world for fortune and glory. Yeah, you'll find stuff you're afraid of, but to get your reward you need to grow as a person and overcome it. To quit the game because there's an enemy you don't like is akin to a hero stopping his quest because he doesn't like dark places.

Go play Animal Crossing instead.
>>
Spiders in games never quite capture what creeps me right the fuck out about them rl. In games they're always making noise and always moving which makes them more like other animals and less confronting. Skyrim's spiders got the look right but they're always chittering and their idle animation isn't still. If they moved the way spiders do in real life then I think vidya spiders would actually be creepy. I have SEVERE arachnophobia and I have'nt played any vidya that actually capture what it is that fucks me up. They're just so alien, even other insects seem like animals whereas spiders are just so WRONG.
