I personally don't care who I end up playing as in a game but it's always good to have more options and inclusion is a good thing, the only thing is i've said before that there are tons of people who act as though women being featured in any capacity is somehow "SJW" nowadays which literally makes no sense, it has nothing to do with politics but literally just treating everyone the same and it has always been the case. So when I see people singling out this as though it's some "special" thing such as with this announcement, while it's a good thing to highlight, I don't want it to feed into the idea that it's somehow not normal for female characters that some people are pushing and that adding them is some rare thing, just treat it as normal so these people have to get used to it. (Because somehow they aren't I guess. Where have they been for the past few decades).
It also gives me a sort of corporate PR speak every now and then when some companies do this because it makes me feel like they think they can pat themselves on the back and expect good pr just for doing bare minimum but not actually caring about it behind the scenes.
Edit: I've edited this comment and rewritten it as to more accurately portray what I meant to say at the time, as it was originally written poorly.
