Why are spiders usually portrayed as the bad guys in games?
Spiders are actually really nice and it would be good if games showed that more often.

the only nice spiders are the small jumping spiders that never leave the windowsill.

Fpbp

What about the ones that watch you sleep to make sure nothing bad happens?

I have simple spider rules, and they go like this:
Spider more than 10 feet away or outside=Spider Lives
Spider within 10 feet=Dead spider
Far away spider remains in sight for more than a minute=Dead spider
Spider is in my room=Dead spider
Skyrim spiders aways attack so theyre dead.

It's a bit more complicated than that. You have to take the size into account.

So the spider's "threat" factor would be some factor of:
4ax + 3bx + 2cx + 2dx + ex
Where x = volume of the spider
a = proximity to bed
b = proximity to toilet
c = proximity to kitchen
d = proximity to front door
e = proximity to back door

Then I'd just have to figure out the threshold at which I need to kill the spider.

Dark Messiah has the best spiders.

nah spiders are predators and will eat anything they can

the fact that they're too small to eat humans means we're mostly safe

Giant spiders in video games are clear big enough to kill and consume humans, and thus they have no restraint in attacking people

Fun fact: House spiders are acclimated only to living indoors in most climes since they evolved in hotter climates. If you put them outside because you think they'll be happier there they will likely not survive or thrive, and doing so in winter or autumn will very probably kill them. They need both the warmth and relative humidity of homes and buildings.

I used to catch them with a glass and piece of paper and put them outside thinking it'd be better for them but since reading about it never did it again. This is also why they try to go straight back inside if you leave the door open.

>not feeding your spider bro and bonding with it

Actually spiders of that size would be crushed by their own body weight due to how their bodies are designed. Also their venom would be heavily diluted anyway.
Once you get into the realm of fantasy and allow for spiders to be super-sized, it's feasible to have them be intelligent and kind next.

Post cute spiders.

Obligatory Dark Souls mention, but I'd say they're not so much cute as they are sexy.
