Well Feminists like Anita Sarkeesian will keep pushing for over-diversity in every game, because they simply don't care for the quality of the game; They don't play these games like we play these games.

I could care less for diversity in games, so long as it's not being pushed and advertised as a feature that's worth $60 to some shadow audience. AC Odyssey has a female character choice, and it's not being pushed for some stupid liberal agenda, it's just an option to further build the fact that the game is an RPG now. BFV has a female option, and it was made clear by EA that they're pushing a retarded liberal agenda.

TLoU2 was probably just an issue because the two lesbian chicks looked nothing like what you can find on Pornhub, and therefore isn't worth $60. IT's in the same boat as if Joel was the one kissing some other dude.
Of course with Naughty Dog developers attacking fans online like how EA did definitely shoots a massive blow to the sales in the future. If that dev had kept their mouth shut, no one would care because no one would think twice about a liberal agenda being pushed.
People don't like politics influencing their favorite choice of entertainment, and a lot of people hate the far left/right being represented in a positive light. Lets hope the developers/publishers who have committed this horrible act learn from it, otherwise their going into the ditch. Looking at you Sony (Horizon, and TLoU2) , Bethesda(Wolfenstein 2, not really Doom Eternal), and fuckin EA.

I think if a few more sjw ridden games do poorly, it would show that it's more than just a "vocal minority" that don't like the stuff regardless of how much game journos or resetera say otherwise. It would have a lasting effect.

I encounter way more anti sjws than I encounter actual sjws. Jesus Christ people do you not see the irony in this? Threads like this are just as whiny and annoying as watching a group of hardcore feminist go on about mansplaining on Tumblr. It's the exact same kind of self righteous bitching and moaning and expecting the entire planet to cave into your narrow minded viewpoint

Again, people are misunderstanding what the issue is. No one has a problem with a woman being on the front cover.Or being playable in the game. The woman in the first trailer was slightly questionable, but was given a pass by many (including me). Yes, we all know Battlefield was never THAT realistic, so whatever.

The issue is the comments given later. Calling people "uneducated" and "sexist" for not believing that women were in the front lines of british forces having prosthetic arms and blue face paint and wielding cricket bats. EA is implying that this is what actually happened in WW2. Stop rewriting history to give it more diversity, ffs.

If those comments never occurred I (along with many others) would've probably given it a pass.

I can't argue with that first sentence but the rest is meh. SJWs like to appropriate popular culture and entertainment then inject their agenda into it. They also like to dictate how everyone is supposed to act. If you don't comply then you're a racist, sexist, ect. Anti-sjws are a reaction to this. It turns out that appropriating someone's hobby or favorite IPs then fundamentally changing it so they incorporate their political message then virtue signal to non-consumer sjws is the best way to piss people off. Every time they hijack a film or something similar, it turns the fanbase into anti-sjws. There's nothing self-righteous about wanting to be left alone. If sjws would just cut that shit, no one would care what they did or said.

Sony 1st party studios = SJW studios

I mean, it's EA, so I think it has more to do with that fact alone..

But yeah, I definitely think people are growing tired of corporations for their identity politic obsession and patting themselves on the back for how virtuous they are for mere "inclusion" and "underrepresented identities" or whatever other pre-determined traits of which people have zero control over, so I'm sure that's at least a factor..

The narrow mindedness of some people here is shocking. There are many more reasons why the game doesn’t get many pre-orders. I’m sure the girl sniper is the least of them.

Nothing more to add.

No one learned from the whole Battlefront fiasco, not even EA. Doubt this would make any difference.

No. Because it is alnost like a religion. They are fanactics and close minded to reason. Which is funny because usually they are also against religion.
Anyway, the trend will go on for wla while. It will take a few more failures for the companies to wake up and not "woke up". The impact on sales from sjw media is much lower than the impact from straying away from your playerbase. Kingdom Come Deliverance is an exampke. Excelente sales despite the nonsense sjw crazyness.
As for myself, I will play BFV only after a very good bundle deal with dlcs and unfortunately TLOF2 is going the same way.
