>it would be pretty easy to say “the companies don’t hire women for combat roles”

would one call that lore?

...just reminds me of this sketch from over 5 years ago...

I certainly never heard of the game before this. I also think their excuses are bullshit, and this will make me less likely to buy the game.

We can know

I think its totally fair to call people out on their bullshit, “for the art” excuses.  Especially when they are Russian so more than likely pushing an agenda.

If your metric on whether a decision is "good" or not begins and ends with "did it generate exposure?" then maybe your metric is also bad

Clothing is just a mesh on a rig, so like I said - unless they have the shittiest pipeline and tools on earth, this shouldn’t be that hard.

You don’t think that games that DO feature women don’t get passed along? I see lists all the time of games that are friendly to women, minority of gay players, and games that are deemed unfriendly. An article like this really does cut both ways.

I havent played the game myself but after a quick search i found that the game is a multiplayer military loot shooter game. It also doesnt have a story mode, yet, but one is planned. Currently its just a bunch of pvp stuff, or an offline mode with AI. So it really doesnt make sense to not have a female character,…

They made their decision and it was a bad decision. 

Hey remember when ubisoft made this excuse about assassin's creed unity a few years ago and it was immediately proven to be bullshit?

Accepting women’s money would no doubt require years of effort on their behalf. It’s clearly quite different, and is no doubt incompatible with existing banking accounts.

They clearly don’t want women’s money. So I’m not giving them any. 

So, apparently booming sand is a thing. That’s really cool. I wonder about that voice you heard though!

Grouse. In the forest one day thought I was hearing a vibrating, droning, drumming under the mountain I was walking on, and I thought the same thing ... I’m about to wander into the Unseelie Court and never come back. It was foggy and weird on the mountain, and I was freaking out. I looked it up later, found videos…

I think I know this camp! My daughter was a camp counselor for a Girls camp at ab ex-TB hospital too in NorCal. The first year she worked there she said they heard like a cart being rolled in the hallway. The second year - she said they were having a meeting outside and she saw this thing. It was human-esque in shape,…

So... what does the old guy and running man have in common?

Perhaps you saw it here: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/boyfriend-corpses-medical-condition/

It was probably your landlord.

Aaahhh! That’s terrifying!

Also, your story reminds me of “The Beast with Five Fingers” by W.F. Harvey, a classic horror story that legit gave me nightmares after it had percolated in my subconscious for a bit. Evil disembodied hands are horrifying!
