It just HAS to be pandering, not thier choice. Its only tge developers choice when they do what i wantvthem to. |
But this isn't the case at all. If a game has well-written characters, people don't care at all. You don't see people complaining about The Last of Us or The Walking Dead, which feature women and/or LGBTQ characters. If something is well done, it doesn't feel tacked on, so it raises above pandering or quotas (because even if it isn't this, then the creators did a very poor job with the character). Much like the greater problem of misrepresentation/tropes in video games, it's more of a critcism on the writing and design imo.
