Like I said. Gamers/consumers aren't the ones who care about this stuff. It's marketing/"suits" who's job it is to take the risk out of anything that object to anything. The funny thing is a large portion of the gaming community I'm pretty sure is black/latino/asian and most of the white audience is cool with anyone on the cover. Just make a good freaking game. "I was going to buy that game, but this one has a white person on the cover so I'll buy this one" .... said no gamer ever, and if there was one he/she is just an asshole that's a tiny, tiny, tiny minority. |

Just a frigging shopkeeper in the game.
This decision was made in 2009, at least things are getting a bit more progressive nowadays. Yet still a long what to go until all gamers don't care.
Dragon Age: Inquisition got the cover right. Could be anyone on the cover, even a black transgender muslim refugee inside that armor. Plus it has the word Dragon in the title, win win.
