Really? Outrage over pronouns?

[Ace Cheetah]

I find it funny that gamers (TM) got offended over the sicko label and yet flooded the discussion forums with attacks against the developer and anti-woke diatribes over something that affects nobody.

I don't think it needs explaining why that probably doesn't help in refuting the sicko label.

you think it's only a pronouns but it's the idea of this woke people that's the problem.

Let's be clear about this issue you provided as an afterthought. It's a dealbreaker. One of the two most important people on the entire dev team literally hates my guts and he never even met me. The most I could ever be in his esteem is an ally against my own race.

Yes, Obsidian could re-enter my good graces by IMMEDIATELY firing him, I will admit that. But until then, I am sorry if you just can't see it, but a bona fide racist being one of the biggest recipients of any profit the game makes really IS a big enough deal to justify just shelving the entire idea of giving that company money for this product. I really want to scream: obviously so!

It certainly doesn't hurt that there are going to be plenty of other things to play in 2025, let alone February.

Affects all of us. I want that sick, mentally ill doctrine out of my games and my hobby.

Aren't RPGs about creating whatever character you want and playing their role? That's the whole point of tabletop RPGs.

Yes they are, there is however one major difference between a ttrpg and a video game. A ttrpg you play in real life with friends, and its unlikely you hang out with people you consider to be intolerable jerks, right? A PC title is in that respect a bit more like a movie, you have some guy you have no personal relationship acting a bit like a director of a movie. Compare one person telling a story to his friends vs one person telling a story to thousands, sometimes millions of people.
At a table of friends there will be tables who would love to focus on everyones pronouns when makingn characters, there will however also be lots of tables that wouldnt like that, and most DMs will know their players well enough to tell. (altho I guess r/dnd horror stories is a thing) XD

This is why when some guy in charge of art direction for a video game rpg starts acting like an unlikable jerk (and the studio he works for doesnt react) that kinda sends the signal that he probably isnt alone in holding such opinions at the studio and playing this game will be like sitting down to play a ttrpg with a bunch of intolerable jerks.

Why are you in every controversial game? You get off getting into arguments? Its not just about pronouns the Dev team support active-racists while also trying to say their morals are better.

No outrage at all. The game makers just missed some sales.

They will just have to find a way to force people to buy those games.
Or at least force the gamers to give them money even if they don't play.
