Something must be going on at Ubisoft. They cancelled their Tokyo Game Show stream without any explanation as well.

    That’s what I said, it doesn’t pander to LGBTQ. Unlike a lot of other games in recent times, even in games where no form of real world politics have a place. So people are gonna encourage games that don’t make that one of their main focus points of the game. Which is what I think is part of the reason why reviews are inflated over what it should probably actually be, I’d honestly rate it more of a 6 or 7 out of 10, but that’s my personal opinion on it.

    People can downvote me all they want but that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of people are done with making games about politics and DEI, and developers putting that above better/more fun gameplay. There’ve been plenty of developers pushing this stuff in their games where it doesn’t belong, let alone add anything of value. I never cared what the main protagonist is like, or what the rest of the game is like, as long as the game is fun.

      Lgbtqia people existing is not “real world politics” and they are grossly underrepresented in media.

      Do you have examples of DEI’d games? Do you have sources for saying devs don’t want to do it anymore? So far I only know of guys that record videos of themselves screaming “fucking pronouns” being offended by the mere presence of pronouns, and that’s not even “DEI”. There’s also that weird steam recommendation character who criticizes every game that has a woman who isn’t meant to be a sex object, but these are all very fringe and often severely disturbed people, not at all representative of any real impactful opinions.

      where no form of real world politics

      Oh fuck off, queer people aren’t politics. It’s literally just humans existing, but since some bigots want to limit their rights you call it political. This is the same exact thought process of asking “the Jewish question”.

      never cared what the main protagonist is like

      And yet here you are saying a bunch of dumb stuff about devs pushing things in. You can’t have it both ways.
