I made the same argument for every coop or mmorpg ive played the last 30 years.  It seems theres just too many people that prefer to optimize rather than having fun.  Even on WoW i refuse to use premade skill builds, and stick to a build i find most useful for myself and it has affected my raid opportunities, so i…

true, im probably downplaying the article too much.  But as a whole i agree with the article, I cant point to anything i disagree with specifically.  I just wanted to point out that in order to fix it, they have to have something in the game to appeal to the mainstream so that more people buy it.  Companies wont make…

more like beauty fetishization. Its not just anime and manga that stick to unattainable beauty standards though they are the most prominent.

or people who actually like beautiful media, its not just anime.  Anime is just the easy target cuz as a whole they arent bowing to the agenda.  If comic artists were still drawing like they were in the 80s and early 90s with swimsuit bods they would be a target too.  but they would still be making money.

MJ turned ugly.  Petty i know, but i’ve grown tired of redheads being replaced or uglified in recent games and media.

If a game is purely going for the gay angle, gay protag, gay storyline and content im probably not the primary consumer target. Frankly, if the game was good enough i would still buy it, but i probably would wait til the game got decent reviews on gameplay.

Or maybe beautiful art compared to ugly art? Subjective I know but western entertainment media has downplayed appealing art styles for some time. I’m talking about content made for adults not the kiddie cartoons.

As far as the subject is concerned, it’s about purchase power. Include a gay tangent in a game? I’ll still buy it if its still good and fun. But make the protagonist unappealing even if the game is groundbreaking? My dollars go elsewhere. The point being all this talk about any part of the entertainment industry is a…

Speaking for myself, I’m more concerned with the appearances of my avatars in game. I want to play a more handsome avatar, I want any romantic potential to be appealing as well, if any. X-shaming (as in fat shaming, beauty shaming, etc) has had more of an affect of my purchasing power than LBGT inclusion. Theres a…

Not that it matters, most people in the know wont buy this game because of a multitude of idiocy.  Hopefully it crashes so hard the studio and publisher learns a harsh lesson.

No matter what changes they do, all developers should move on to another engine. There is simply no guarantee they wont do worse updates in the future.

If Mass Effect can let you make a compelling avatar of your own back 15 years ago, there is no excuse any new game cant do the same.  Not being able to make your own hero is such a letdown in today’s games.  I’ll prolly still play this game, but only after its in the bargain bin in 3 years.

Not suprising, animation is timeless. The problem is the political spectrum(both extremes) is using it as a battlefield and thats causing people avoid those types of entertainment. It’s one thing if one or two tries to send a message, its another when almost all try to tell the same thing, politically. If there was…

No biggie for me, i play it offline anyway. But i can see this as being a dick move having to rebuy to play on official servers until pt2 comes out.

He’s gotta be kidding right?  Hasn’t he seen the backlash over the past year?  I hope NFT games fail so much itll discourage MTX experiments in the future.
