Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: devnullTo dismiss that as trivial and "just get back to discussing gaming", when the devs themselves take such a political stance is a bit revolting.

I still ask: Why should we care. I just don't see what shocks you to the point of revulsion here. Artists and creators do have their own politics and opinions, just like the rest of us. I'd understand if they were spreading hate speech or something. This is almost the opposite.

It's virtue signaling and identity politics, nothing more. This isn't Life is Strange where left/alt left liberal correctly fits the games narrative. It's literally about battling robots.

The silliness in this thread is over 9000. SJW have _no_ place in really much of anything. To dismiss that as trivial and "just get back to discussing gaming", when the devs themselves take such a political stance is a bit revolting. It's a glimpse into what one should expect from not only the game but the company, for some that is preferably before spending their money. I don't see a problem with that. I'd rather know upfront how they will respond when presented with the inevitable challenges every other community has faced.

Going on record to say there are two biological genders. Whatever else YOU identify as is irrelevant. I'm not going to go out of my way to discriminate or harass you but arguing about pronouns is pedantic.

Watched what I could stand of the pre release stream on twitch. It's not that the game or the genre is bad but was being presented quite poorly. They should have had an actual streamer or two on their official channel. It's hard to describe but PUBG tournaments have the same problem atm.

Fun fact, Valve took flack for not changing the team names in Counter-Strike after September 11th, 2001. Thankfully they knew better but I doubt that would fly now.
