The community you insist so much on everyone bending over for is dozens, maybe hundreds of people. Two games were released that cater to this very audience and this is how successful they are:
- dustborn: all-time peak 83 people playing
https://steamdb.info/app/721180/charts/ https://steamdb.info/app/721180/charts/
- concorde: all-time peak 696 people playing
https://steamdb.info/app/2443720/charts/ https://steamdb.info/app/2443720/charts/
Gamedev is a business and these projects clearly failed to deliver any return on the investment.
- nerdjon 2y agoI love that we again bring up 2 games that failed as if this is the only reason they failed. When there are plenty of games with a diverse set of characters that sell just fine. First party Sony games are (generally) a fantastic example of this, that sell very well. SpiderMan 2 is a great example. Horizon, etc. I already mentioned other games like Overwatch, Mass Effect, Apex, and many others that have diversity are just fine. Simply having a gay character, a black character, a woman that isn't a sex object, isn't "bending over backwards". I am sorry but you need to face the fact that gaming is no longer male dominated. That is a good thing. A gay person (or character) existing, is not "political" or shoving it in your face. At least no more than every single straight relationship that I see every single day in media my entire life is “shoved in my face”. But that’s fine because it’s normalized. A man and a woman can be all over each other and no one bats an eye, but 2 men dare to express the simplest of affection and suddenly it’s “political”.
