Western entertainment in general. I heard the same thing happened with Westworld. The MCU started way before any of this, but they eventually did the same thing as well. I actually just lost interest in a book series (The Stormlight Archive) over this very thing. Those first two books (released in 2010 and 2014) were PEAK FICTION, but the third book (the one released in 2016…) ruined it with gay stuff. And the author has pledged to add more. Book, movies, video games, TV shows, any kind of Western “entertainment” after 2016 is secular cult propaganda

Ask yourself this; would there ever be a new Horizon game that has a new playable character that's a male and white? Yep, that's why this shit doesn't sell with me. Look at movies where you have new Predators and Evil Dead films with a history of male leads replaced with females. But, will we ever see an Alien movie made with a male lead? Or a Scream/Halloween movie? It's all one way... That means it's agenda driven. That means there's a plan. And it has zero to do with story...

@@mrdrybonestv they can't do that. 1: nintendo would't and 2: there's a canon manga where she is female as a small child. samus will always be the best *female* protagonist.
i have a theory, i think they read some sensationalist boomer article saying that all the gamers are addicted to games and that's the reason they belive they can say "if you don't like it don't buy it"
Tbf, when they say that, they mostly think "it's not for you, so don't buy it". I don't mind if they say it. What I mind is the crying afterward when it didn't sell and begging for me to care if they lose their jobs despite making art not for me. The entitlement and assumption that their art SHOULD sell is what annoys me the most.
I mean, the last _Core_ designed Tomb Raider: _Angel of Darkness,_ tried to do the whole duel protagonist thing and have a new playable male character, but nobody wanted to play as him. If you're playing a Tomb Raider game, you wanna play as Lara Croft.
it would actually be sick if they made a tomb raider game where you play as richard croft (her father) back when he was young, or maybe switch between richard and lara for connected storylines in the past and present.
"Don't like it, don't buy it." Bold marketing campaign in today's economy, to be sure. I think I'd get more enjoyment from the two things in my cart a whole $70 buys these days. To be fair... I have no idea what this game is and really wasn't a customer in the first place... But I have a whole game library of virtually untouched titles to pick through before I feel the need to see what is on sale from 5 years ago.
Its astonishing how these people endlessly fail upwards. If I had even 10% of a failure as just one of these games at my job, I'm out on my ass with a black mark or at best, a gap in my resume. Yet these people can time after time fall ass backwards into work and even more money and not only that, CEOs and execs LISTEN to these people and take them seriously! Absolutely nuts.
It's going to sell good, you have to understand that once you have a successful brand it will take long to make people ignore it, most of the anti woke crowd will still buy it because after all they are also normies and they want to play their Tsushima.
@@Re-PhantomZerogoing mainstream is one of the worst thing to happen to gaming. Normies just continually eating slop because it's popular making bad game stay longer on the market
@@Re-PhantomZero that's the most depressing part. When wokies make their own original IP and it flops, it's so pleasurably to see, but when they infect the beloved existing IP, money is guaranteed because of inertia and execs think that the message doesn't affect on sales.
There's absolutely no reason to replace Jin with a new character and a female samurai at that. That's just basically a gender swap. The "his story is done" excuse is pure bs.
I tried to explain to people about how the actress they got to play the character is a red flag cause of how publicly vile she is and i even said to go look up things like SBI and DEI one dude said he wasn't going to look it up another said this is video games not politics ect. I tried to be rational i tried to show people that its not as surface level as they think and they still continue to ignore the warnings and say people like us are the problem these aren't leftist im talking about here these are normies people who are willfully ignorant of the problems that have plauged the industry for years despite people like me trying to tell them and even pointing out the evidence they don't wanna hear it and you know what fine let them have it its a losing battle trying to convince them
@@stevendouglas3781 no, normies don't care how a product is made. They just wanne consume. They'll talk bad about slavery but won't mind their expensive shoes being made by kids who get 1 dollar an hour.
It might be best to go down the self-interest route. If they don't care about games, find examples for something they do care about and show them that instead.
I think they hired her for her race. They wanted an Asian lady to voice their video game Asian lady and there's this dumb new thing in the realm of voice acting where it's somehow considered wrong to have a voice actor voice a character that they aren't literally of the same race as. 🤷
It's going to be a SM2, GoWR, AW2 situation. It's going to sell fairly well, but possibly not meet publisher expectations. It'll also garner a fanbase that made the previous game part of their personality and fight tooth and nail to avoid saying the game is bad or God forbid woke.
The shoehorned girlboss thing has become super tedious at this point, but Sucker Punch earned the benefit of my doubt based on the first game. That is, until I learned they purposely went out of their way to choose a repugnant, big mouthed, activist woman to be the new face of the franchise. No thanks. Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up.
@@Sam-lf3hn Then he would be the face of the franchise. She's the main character of the current game, of course she's the face of the franchise. Her face will be on the box.
i WISH i could believe this game won't be terrible. i WISH i could have any faith that the V.A's personal beliefs have no relevance but i don't. i just don't. the last 10 years of dealing with bad female protag after bad female protag and an increasingly insane gaming world filled with games that hate not just people like me but people in general has left be unable to see this and not give up. it's sad because i grew up on all forms of entertainment FILLED with amazing female characters and now whenever i see a female protag i expect to be disappointed. i expect it to be terrible. i WANT to play a game with a good female protagonist. one that isn't an rpg who makes the decisions i choose. or a mod making a male character female, give me a good fun game with a enjoyable female protag and i will play the hell out of it.
Im on a point where whenever I see an unattractive female lead or a black dude I already assume it's a DEI thing. I immediately lose any interest when something gives me DEI vibes. I think I've become phobic towards DEI products.
Just make a sequel, where Jin is in the mainland, dealing with the shogun and mongols. Bring back Kenji and Tomoe, improve the movement and it would be a great sequel. The trailer felt like the first game with a gender swap. Sad outcome. Edit: Lol, you guys didn't get the Tomoe point. At the End of the Ishikawa questline, Tomoe sails to the mainland and maybe plans to open an Inn. So meeting her would have been possible. An ally who would support Jin, for sparing her life back in Tsushima. Thank you for reading.
Im sorry but people need to learn to let go of characters, i thought jin's story was good as it was, it was only logical for them to go the GTA route, it allows for more potential for the series, they could even go to other continents in the future, it is sad to see them go this route but for the wrong reasons, im skeptical about this game but the moment they confirm the MC is gay and dont need no man then its over for me
I’m willing to give Sucker Punch a chance, this game was in development pretty much right after the first one’s success. I wanted to see where Jin’s story ended even if it made me cry. I just hope they give us a good story and excellent gameplay. If this female protagonist is written well I’m happy, if she’s shallow and is badly written I will be sad. I’m gonna wait and see how this game turns out. Sucker Punch has given me many good games and I’m not willing to throw this game under the bus because I don’t like a VA. Every game now will have to be text only if we go down the rabbit hole of purity testing every VA.
Tomoe that incredibly bad Mary Sue character from Ishikawa's quest line in the first game, honestly rather see the generic female leader of those Iki Island bandits that Jin ends up teaming with to fight against the Eagle make a return for some lame reason.
"Why do you assume that they would give you money?" You don't get it, Vee. It's because they are _the good guys._ And because they are _the good guys,_ anyone who disagrees with them, must automatically be _evil._ And most people aren't evil, so _of course_ they would give money to them, but not to you. What is it that you don't get here?
No, Ghost of Yotei will be a better game in a franchise that has a high reputation, so it will sell better and will be better than Shadows, but maybe the 3rd game in the series won't be.
Brands are just allergic to succes it seems. These are the kind of games that I'm glad they fail, yeah, I'm glad the studio shuts down, I'm glad that they go jobless, because... We need as much examples of failure as possible, The last of us 2, Spiderman 2, God of war ps4... 2, I'm noticing a pattern
For me and to many others, the issue is not playing as Jin. This game had a male protagonist and they replaced him with another predictable female protagonist in a traditional male role. While there were a few trained female warriors with different titles and functions, Samurai and Ronin are exclusively men in Japanese culture and history. That's the main issue Imo.
In context, it makes sense. GoT one was set in the late thirteenth century, during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Ghost of Yutei is set in the early seventeenth century, 1603 specifically, so unless the protagonist of Tsushima found the Fountain of Youth or some other means of immortality, there's no way they'd be present in Yutei.
I am no longer willing to separate the art from the artist. Hell with principles. Nor am I willing to attempt to meet half way, not be as bad as, the people who are ideologically my opposite, since they have absolutely no incentive to do the same. If you are a far left ideologue, I will not be spending my money, and I will mock.
Incorrect, there were accounts of women fighting on the battlefield alongside the men. They were regarded as Onna-musha, aka women warriors, they were often used to protect homes instead though. This IS Japan we're talking about, look at how they handled WWII, they were ready to fight to the last child when the axis powers fell.
My favorite videogame character of all time is Samus Aran. But she has never talked about her feelings in hallways or cafes or restaurants, like most female characters in the West do the last decade. Samus has barely spoken, amazing women are seen not heard, and truly great videogame characters you control, not watch and listen.
They use political window dressing to excuse lazy writing. The only difference between this and bad fanfiction is the characters having woke paint on them.
It’s like being served your favorite food, then someone puts a single drop of poison in it. I don’t care how well-made the meal was, I’m not touching it.
Why worry about a game that is going to be bad? Those games come out all the time. Don't buy them, don't play them, don't talk about them or think about them. They do not matter.
What ever happened to market research? Not too long ago businesses and companies would spend a great deal of time and money figuring out their customers and marketing strategically to them. If the games industry wants more women to buy their products, you don't take an action adventure game and shoe-horn a female protag and make half the characters gay. No, you create games such as Candy Crush or Farm Simulator or so called cozy games.
If they hired one woke person its possible they hired more. And only a few in the developement team are enough to spoil any project, even if they're a small minority. I'll wait until the game comes out and is properly reviewed by RUclipsrs and streamers withouta gendas, but so far its not a good sign.
To me.. it is reason enough not to buy it, they made everything political, not doing the same is just giving them more power. Companies will look and think "If we make it non-woke, the woke won't buy it.... if we make it woke, the non woke still buy it"...yeah, no shit they are making it all woke.
I imagined Vee sitting on top of a kitchen table smiling mischievously and I spilled my coffee all over the keyboard! Vee... you own me a cheap Genius keyboard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
0% chance of purchasing. PS5 exclusive -40%. Sudden female protagonist-20%. Execs telling people not to buy it -30%. Activist voice actress -10%. I saw their excuse for not continuing Jin’s story, and it’s so transparent they just wanted a female protagonist.
the big red flag is obvious brother! we get what you were saying and we too are sick of these people ruining our gaming experience with pushing their own agendas

Let's follow the great advice from the former CEO and not buy this piece of DEI garbage
GODDAMN they REALLY don't want my money!
It's very simple, if a game is woke I will not buy. I'm good not buying a new game for the next 5 years.
No direct sequel of Jin Sakai story? Then, I'm totally out. I'm so sick of girl bosses.
The Ghost of Yotei indeed. A phantasm, a fading echo. A memory slowly crumbling away into obscurity.
She is the reason we are sceptical in the first place and she proved us right
"Don't like it, don't buy it"
I won't, thank you my wallet is safe
Don't buy the trash, eventually their industry will completely fail and they will be FORCED to start making good games again.
You know nothing about the game outside of a trailer. You sound stupid right now
When are you going to realize? The powers that be hate us. They've always hated us. They don't need our money, they PRINT the money. YOU are the product.
them: it's not political
also them: it's not sexual
Lara Croft exists since 1996 by the way. If female protagonists had been a problem before 2024, it would have been known for 28 years already.
Samus was the protagonist in Metroid in 1986, I don't think anyone minded
@@defeqel6537I’m so terrified they will make Samus Trans in the future. Thats when I drop gaming permanently.
Bayonetta, 2B, that lady from Stellar Blade
@@mrdrybonestv they can't do that. 1: nintendo would't and 2: there's a canon manga where she is female as a small child. samus will always be the best *female* protagonist.
Samus > Lara croft
i have a theory, i think they read some sensationalist boomer article saying that all the gamers are addicted to games and that's the reason they belive they can say "if you don't like it don't buy it"
Tbf, when they say that, they mostly think "it's not for you, so don't buy it".
I don't mind if they say it. What I mind is the crying afterward when it didn't sell and begging for me to care if they lose their jobs despite making art not for me. The entitlement and assumption that their art SHOULD sell is what annoys me the most.
Larry Croft Tomb Raider? Tell me more.
I mean, there was Uncharted…
I mean, the last _Core_ designed Tomb Raider: _Angel of Darkness,_ tried to do the whole duel protagonist thing and have a new playable male character, but nobody wanted to play as him. If you're playing a Tomb Raider game, you wanna play as Lara Croft.
He wears a leisure suit.
Wasn't Lara's father in the same profession? Prequel time!
it would actually be sick if they made a tomb raider game where you play as richard croft (her father) back when he was young, or maybe switch between richard and lara for connected storylines in the past and present.
"Don't like it, don't buy it."
Bold marketing campaign in today's economy, to be sure. I think I'd get more enjoyment from the two things in my cart a whole $70 buys these days.
To be fair... I have no idea what this game is and really wasn't a customer in the first place... But I have a whole game library of virtually untouched titles to pick through before I feel the need to see what is on sale from 5 years ago.
Its astonishing how these people endlessly fail upwards. If I had even 10% of a failure as just one of these games at my job, I'm out on my ass with a black mark or at best, a gap in my resume. Yet these people can time after time fall ass backwards into work and even more money and not only that, CEOs and execs LISTEN to these people and take them seriously! Absolutely nuts.
Oh boy, here comes another Concord.
It's going to sell good, you have to understand that once you have a successful brand it will take long to make people ignore it, most of the anti woke crowd will still buy it because after all they are also normies and they want to play their Tsushima.
@@Re-PhantomZerogoing mainstream is one of the worst thing to happen to gaming. Normies just continually eating slop because it's popular making bad game stay longer on the market
Repeat of TLOU2, Ragnarok, HZD2, etc
@@Re-PhantomZero I'd bet money that the sales numbers will be below GoT.
@@Re-PhantomZero that's the most depressing part. When wokies make their own original IP and it flops, it's so pleasurably to see, but when they infect the beloved existing IP, money is guaranteed because of inertia and execs think that the message doesn't affect on sales.
There's absolutely no reason to replace Jin with a new character and a female samurai at that. That's just basically a gender swap. The "his story is done" excuse is pure bs.
Her story is unecessary. That should be our answer.
I tried to explain to people about how the actress they got to play the character is a red flag cause of how publicly vile she is and i even said to go look up things like SBI and DEI one dude said he wasn't going to look it up another said this is video games not politics ect. I tried to be rational i tried to show people that its not as surface level as they think and they still continue to ignore the warnings and say people like us are the problem these aren't leftist im talking about here these are normies people who are willfully ignorant of the problems that have plauged the industry for years despite people like me trying to tell them and even pointing out the evidence they don't wanna hear it and you know what fine let them have it its a losing battle trying to convince them
That’s because we’re past the debate phase. Everyone has chosen a side already.
@@stevendouglas3781 no, normies don't care how a product is made. They just wanne consume.
They'll talk bad about slavery but won't mind their expensive shoes being made by kids who get 1 dollar an hour.
yeah she said pretty reprehensible things. i'm still buying this though lmao. ghost 1 was a banger
@@ceshmate1953 yeah, that’s a side. Debating people does nothing if they’ve already chosen not to care about what you’re arguing for.
It might be best to go down the self-interest route. If they don't care about games, find examples for something they do care about and show them that instead.
Everytime they say "don't like, don't buy it". I will not buy regardless.
No pretty woman, no buy.
I think they hired her for her race.
They wanted an Asian lady to voice their video game Asian lady and there's this dumb new thing in the realm of voice acting where it's somehow considered wrong to have a voice actor voice a character that they aren't literally of the same race as. 🤷
Sony sequel bait and switch
Imagine in 2024, still giving companies the benefit of the doubt.
It's going to be a SM2, GoWR, AW2 situation.
It's going to sell fairly well, but possibly not meet publisher expectations. It'll also garner a fanbase that made the previous game part of their personality and fight tooth and nail to avoid saying the game is bad or God forbid woke.
The ex CEO didn’t learn from the battlefield 1 disaster🤦
The shoehorned girlboss thing has become super tedious at this point, but Sucker Punch earned the benefit of my doubt based on the first game. That is, until I learned they purposely went out of their way to choose a repugnant, big mouthed, activist woman to be the new face of the franchise. No thanks.
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up.
How is she the face of their franchise? What if in the third game they have a man as the male character?
@@Sam-lf3hn
Then he would be the face of the franchise. She's the main character of the current game, of course she's the face of the franchise.
Her face will be on the box.
Well, it looks like they've set fire to the fields right after we asked if the fields looked a bit too dry.
I'd love for the red flags to be false alarms. But no pre-orders!! Gonna wait and see!
Female protagonist to stare at for hours: Yepeeeee
VA is a woke activist: hello darkness my old friend
I won't say they are squatting on my food yet, but they have claimed the table and undid their belt and I'm just wondering why.
I mean, you are not saying "don't buy" it... but I am. Even if the game is good... do not support people that hate you.
Surprised they didn't give her the Crimson Chin treatment. We all know the big western game companies love that.
i WISH i could believe this game won't be terrible. i WISH i could have any faith that the V.A's personal beliefs have no relevance but i don't. i just don't. the last 10 years of dealing with bad female protag after bad female protag and an increasingly insane gaming world filled with games that hate not just people like me but people in general has left be unable to see this and not give up.
it's sad because i grew up on all forms of entertainment FILLED with amazing female characters and now whenever i see a female protag i expect to be disappointed. i expect it to be terrible. i WANT to play a game with a good female protagonist. one that isn't an rpg who makes the decisions i choose. or a mod making a male character female, give me a good fun game with a enjoyable female protag and i will play the hell out of it.
Modern game devs are out here helping everyone save money in today's bad economy.
True. XD
She shouldn't wield two swords, she should wield two red flags.
Im on a point where whenever I see an unattractive female lead or a black dude I already assume it's a DEI thing. I immediately lose any interest when something gives me DEI vibes.
I think I've become phobic towards DEI products.
Shouts out, the pattern noticers out there
Just make a sequel, where Jin is in the mainland, dealing with the shogun and mongols. Bring back Kenji and Tomoe, improve the movement and it would be a great sequel.
The trailer felt like the first game with a gender swap. Sad outcome.
Edit: Lol, you guys didn't get the Tomoe point. At the End of the Ishikawa questline, Tomoe sails to the mainland and maybe plans to open an Inn. So meeting her would have been possible. An ally who would support Jin, for sparing her life back in Tsushima. Thank you for reading.
Bring back Tomoe? No, no, the echo chamber does not like woman warriors.
Im sorry but people need to learn to let go of characters, i thought jin's story was good as it was, it was only logical for them to go the GTA route, it allows for more potential for the series, they could even go to other continents in the future, it is sad to see them go this route but for the wrong reasons, im skeptical about this game but the moment they confirm the MC is gay and dont need no man then its over for me
I’m willing to give Sucker Punch a chance, this game was in development pretty much right after the first one’s success.
I wanted to see where Jin’s story ended even if it made me cry.
I just hope they give us a good story and excellent gameplay. If this female protagonist is written well I’m happy, if she’s shallow and is badly written I will be sad. I’m gonna wait and see how this game turns out. Sucker Punch has given me many good games and I’m not willing to throw this game under the bus because I don’t like a VA. Every game now will have to be text only if we go down the rabbit hole of purity testing every VA.
Tomoe that incredibly bad Mary Sue character from Ishikawa's quest line in the first game, honestly rather see the generic female leader of those Iki Island bandits that Jin ends up teaming with to fight against the Eagle make a return for some lame reason.
Also improve the combat.
We always liked girls in games.
Also, what did I expected:
-Actual japanese, actually very female, very lovely and very pretty lady
What I got:
-An American asian Karen activist
They get money and than develop an allergy to money so they need to flash it out to heal.
Sony is cooked, and at this point if it isn't made by their Japanese team, it's woke garbage. 100% guaranteed.
"Why do you assume that they would give you money?"
You don't get it, Vee.
It's because they are _the good guys._
And because they are _the good guys,_ anyone who disagrees with them, must automatically be _evil._
And most people aren't evil, so _of course_ they would give money to them, but not to you. What is it that you don't get here?
"Don't like it, don't buy it" Sweaty, baby, my words exactly!
Actually it is interesting, how many of the Tsushima team remain at the studio currently?
You are asking the right questions, we demand to see how many remain.
A bunch of Ghost fans are coping hard af that their game could be going down AC Shadows route 😂
It's full of them defending this garbage after SONY spent 400 mill dollars on woke Concorde, Sucker Punch is cooked, just play the first one
No, Ghost of Yotei will be a better game in a franchise that has a high reputation, so it will sell better and will be better than Shadows, but maybe the 3rd game in the series won't be.
Brands are just allergic to succes it seems.
These are the kind of games that I'm glad they fail, yeah, I'm glad the studio shuts down, I'm glad that they go jobless, because... We need as much examples of failure as possible, The last of us 2, Spiderman 2, God of war ps4... 2, I'm noticing a pattern
The thing is, trying to find a modern western female lead that isn't a misandrist is next to impossible.
For me and to many others, the issue is not playing as Jin. This game had a male protagonist and they replaced him with another predictable female protagonist in a traditional male role. While there were a few trained female warriors with different titles and functions, Samurai and Ronin are exclusively men in Japanese culture and history. That's the main issue Imo.
In context, it makes sense. GoT one was set in the late thirteenth century, during the first Mongol invasion of Japan. Ghost of Yutei is set in the early seventeenth century, 1603 specifically, so unless the protagonist of Tsushima found the Fountain of Youth or some other means of immortality, there's no way they'd be present in Yutei.
@@aleronbane8080 They could have given us another Samurai man to play as.
Literally the only totally acceptable way to replace Jin would have been with his and Yuna's son or daughter.
it's like hiring a vegan to cook your stake, very good example

I am no longer willing to separate the art from the artist. Hell with principles. Nor am I willing to attempt to meet half way, not be as bad as, the people who are ideologically my opposite, since they have absolutely no incentive to do the same. If you are a far left ideologue, I will not be spending my money, and I will mock.
I am not touching that crap. And female samurais DID NOT existe anyway.
Go play rise of ronin
Incorrect, there were accounts of women fighting on the battlefield alongside the men. They were regarded as Onna-musha, aka women warriors, they were often used to protect homes instead though. This IS Japan we're talking about, look at how they handled WWII, they were ready to fight to the last child when the axis powers fell.

My favorite videogame character of all time is Samus Aran.
But she has never talked about her feelings in hallways or cafes or restaurants, like most female characters in the West do the last decade. Samus has barely spoken, amazing women are seen not heard, and truly great videogame characters you control, not watch and listen.
I think you forgot other m. I dont blame you though i wish i could forget other m.
They use political window dressing to excuse lazy writing. The only difference between this and bad fanfiction is the characters having woke paint on them.
Tomb Raider without Lara Croft is just Indiana Jones.
I honestly thought it was an androgynous man in the trailer. Never thought it was a body type 2.
It’s like being served your favorite food, then someone puts a single drop of poison in it. I don’t care how well-made the meal was, I’m not touching it.

I bleeping predicted this, yesterday. Eh hehe. No Mary Sue for me anyway.
How do you know she's a Mary Sue?
Was worried when I saw a type B as the main and now it would seem that my worries weren't unwarranted.
Why worry about a game that is going to be bad? Those games come out all the time. Don't buy them, don't play them, don't talk about them or think about them. They do not matter.
Like 90% of my characters I create are female characters lol, these people just don't get it. People are so tired of their politics.
That’s because when you and I make them, they aren’t propaganda machines
I won't be playing. I'm barely a drop in the ocean but i'm my own drop.
I don't wanna play a female character.
That's why I won't play.
Do you understand now?
Thanx.
What ever happened to market research? Not too long ago businesses and companies would spend a great deal of time and money figuring out their customers and marketing strategically to them. If the games industry wants more women to buy their products, you don't take an action adventure game and shoe-horn a female protag and make half the characters gay. No, you create games such as Candy Crush or Farm Simulator or so called cozy games.
I maintain that the VA alone is not enough for me to jump ship but it is a very bad sign and I hope it doesn't get worse from here on out.
If they hired one woke person its possible they hired more. And only a few in the developement team are enough to spoil any project, even if they're a small minority. I'll wait until the game comes out and is properly reviewed by RUclipsrs and streamers withouta gendas, but so far its not a good sign.
I'm sure this VA is the one activists who won't ruin their workplace with their toxic politics ;)
@@RafaelSantos-pi8py like cockroaches you see one , there's most likely more hidden away.
To me.. it is reason enough not to buy it, they made everything political, not doing the same is just giving them more power. Companies will look and think "If we make it non-woke, the woke won't buy it.... if we make it woke, the non woke still buy it"...yeah, no shit they are making it all woke.
The safe assumption until proven otherwise is that she forced her politics onto every aspect of it.
I imagined Vee sitting on top of a kitchen table smiling mischievously and I spilled my coffee all over the keyboard!

0% chance of purchasing. PS5 exclusive -40%. Sudden female protagonist-20%. Execs telling people not to buy it -30%. Activist voice actress -10%. I saw their excuse for not continuing Jin’s story, and it’s so transparent they just wanted a female protagonist.
The sequel being ruined by DEI/woke has become a meme. Red flags raised... I'll wait until reviews by trustworthy critics talk about it.
At least they made sure to state it's a fictional original story or I'll have to point out dule wielding in Japan is not a thing until around 1624.
the big red flag is obvious brother! we get what you were saying and we too are sick of these people ruining our gaming experience with pushing their own agendas
