Yea, I'd love to hear specifics. OP is all over this thread vaguely insinuating about "political content" but notably hasn't yet pointed out any specific examples that are objectionable.

  Just so I understand your objection, they are woke because in the game one of their studios made, the woman in the game wasn't attractive enough for you?

    And you totally skip the "self-insert"... But I'm sure you'd cast Lizzo as Helen of Troy.

      Who was the "self" being inserted here? That's a confusing term for a game made by so many people.

        The top Reddit comment there pretty much sums this whole discussion up. I can't believe I dragged myself into this. It's just Gamergate again and again. I should have known.

        So you think the character looks like a fashion model? Really?

    Not even their studio, his example is from Sony.

  None of those examples are political. They might be things you don't like, which is fine, but that doesn't make them politics. What makes the attractiveness of a 3D game character "politics"? What makes a useless gay side quest politics, but a similar useless straight side quest not-politics?

    Injecting LGBTQ+, then excluding it for certain markets is absolutely political.
    - Dylan16807 4mo ago
      Having a realistic amount of LGBTQ people/interactions in a big story shouldn't qualify as "political". Removing it for certain markets is much more political, and they should not do that, but I get the impression that isn't the outcome you want. Edit: Also the average level in the real world is a lot more than 1%. 1% is like just the trans portion.

    They are political and being outraged at gp pointing it out doesn't change that they negatively affect the commercial success of the games.

  What do editorial decisions in some specific game have to do with the news item?

    It's not even a game by a Microsoft studio, but a Sony one.
