Concord is Sony's biggest failure in gaming history.

Thats just it, it wasn't terrible (this is twisting the truth, to fit your agenda, to a minor degree).
People that played it said it was "fine" or middle of the street type of deal.

I don't have an agenda. I am an LGBT minority.
It was not a great game. It was a clone.

The thing is, the competition has better looking models / sexier ones (to sell skins), and was free to play.... vs paid game.

Correct. Other games are better, so why would you settle for the inferior version?

Thats just it.... others have or do.

I don't buy a game because of it's diversity or lack there-of. I enjoy the game for what it is.

Mass Effect was literally the epitome of diversity in video games and is one of the greatest games of all time... But the diverse characters augmented the story, it wasn't -the- story.
A bunch of characters from all sex's, genders, sexuality's, age, race, shapes and sizes and more all came together to work together. - It's the epitome of what conservatives regard as "woke". - But it's also what made the game incredible.

Call of Duty used to lack diversity, mostly consisting of only a white-male cast but those games were still excellent as it was representing a historical context of specific war fronts. (I am talking Call of Duty 1+2 here). - They were incredible games at the time.

Making video games about politics is just nonsensical, let's enjoy the games for the art form they represent and leave the bickering to politicians.

Thats why DEI is now a issue.
Theres people of colour that feel under represented in games (and have for along time). 
So their has been a push for getting more DEI in games, even at the cost of say haveing a white male character.

That's been changing for a long time.

GTA5 featured a prominent african-american as the main protagonist. One of the best selling games of all time.

You have consultent firms, like Sweet baby inc, that almost make it sound like "white hate".

Is it though? Or are people just having a whinge for the sake of it?
You will never please everyone all the time, but you can please some... Some of the time.

This wouldn't be issue if excludeing white characters resulted in a equal or greater amount of others adapting it to compensate.
The issue is, the vast majority of people playing these shooter games are avg white males.
And there seems to be enough that are getting atleast slightly avoided by this take, and all the political agendas being pushed.
Im not saying its super impactful.... however I'd bet it does have some small effect overall.

Go super DEI, and basically scream "I hate white people", don't be surprised if less of them buy the games.

The world is larger than the USA, these games sell in Europe, Oceania, Latin America and more. - It's not predominantly white teenage boys that are gaming these days on a world-wide basis.

I remember back in the 90's when Lara Croft: Tomb Raider burst onto the scene and made it big.
Guess what? A white woman was the star of that game series and the game was better for it, not because she was a woman... But because the entire character made sense for the story and world, Lara Croft wasn't just shoe-horned at the expense of a white male.
