Will the BF5 Failure Slow The Tide of SJW Agendas in Gaming?

I feel like if it under performs, it has more to do with EA's response and poor PR than the diversity itself.

For developers to stop pushing agendas as a whole, we would not only need BFV for fail, but also TLoU2, Horizon 2 (first had some obvious SJW themes in it, as fantaic as the game was), Gears 5, etc would have to fail as well.

I am not saying these games should or will fail, I am simply saying that is what would have to happen. One game would do little in the grand scheme of things.

I can assure you that TLOU2 wont sell as much as the first one.   It will sell less than 17M

At most 10M including digital.

Which is exactly why we will not see politics in gaming die out unless the political stance itself dies out on its own.  Good games will sell, showing that adding political stuff in games will not stop it from selling.  Your reply only helps prove my point about why BFV failing will not shy devs away from being political as a whole.

 

The reason for the lower number will not be because of political views BTW, it will be due to it being released on one platform.  The first game released on PS3, was a hit, then released again on PS4 and sales doubled.  Devs and publishers are not oblivious to that fact.
