Little King’s Story wallpaper, depicting all of the princesses you marry during the game after you conquer their kingdoms. Yes, there is polygamy in this game, but it’s far too benign to be really shocking. It’s still pretty weird!
It’s not quite like a political marriage, because you’ve already taken over the kingdom and thus have no power to gain. And it’s not really prurient, since your relationship with your many wives consists entirely of them giving you quests. In fact, while rescuing them all from evil kings seems like your basic video game power-fantasy stuff, the fact that they then just hang out and give you work to do kind of subverts that whole conquest angle.
For what it’s worth, one of the king’s ministers does find it a bit offensive. As for me, I don’t really have a thesis statement for this or anything – I just find it interesting, and an example of how unexpectedly deep this game is.
