For Mass Effect, one can write some of this off as 'player choice mechanics,' EG their sexuality isn't super explicit earlier and they want to give players romance options, so 'declaring' them gay or bi makes a lot of sense.

It's building canon on the fly, kind of like how some RPG game characters are flavored blank slates in a way that isn't possible in 'fixed' media like books or TV.
