Potentially unpopular opinion, but I have been feeling this way for a while: this is why you shouldn't have asked for developers to "confirm" wether Bridget was trans or not. Writers, wether for video games, books, or movies, can't retroactively change or clarify what the material contained. Once something is released to the wild, the author no longer controls what it is and it must stand on its own content. At that point, any creator's comments are just one viewpoint on the content, as valid as any the audience comes up with.

Yet when you demand that the developers make a statement to settle some internet argument, you violate this principle. Now, what the developers say has more authority, and by your own argument you have to listen to them now. Which really sucks when they're cowards like ArcSys and bend the knee to "confirm" the other side's opinion.

JK Rowling can't make characters gay retroactively through Twitter, Amazon can't destroy Tolkien lore just by buying copyright, and ArcSys can't make Bridget trans via an interview outside the game material. But a lot of people are going to believe they can because they are the creator of the source material. So, maybe don't contribute to this false notion of creator authority by not demanding they make a statement in favor of your side in an argument.
