JT currently doing a direct on the second link for more details... so maybe.

So apparently JT contacts don't think Avowed will be a good game...
If it were only one... but is multiple developers thinking so... we will see.

I did mention this before. They will stay low and wait it out, probably expecting that people will move their hatred to another target. Like what is happening with the Witcher IV trailer for instance.

People may forget about this whole controversy. I doubt they will forget to ignore the game though. Unfortunately, if the story dies out, the game is likely to sell well enough.
Does everyone like steak?
What a shocker. Ofc they ignore the issues. They think all the bad press will just disappear. This says how much they are detached from their playerbase.
They'll ignore it, just as BioWare ignored any legimate criticism about Dragqueen Age: Failguard. And when the game invariably fails they'll blame everyone but themselves.

It's just how these companies operate.
They really think people will forget in 2 months?

Of course they won't. They are going to hold on onto that grudge and let it fester until their already mentally ill state becomes even worse. I don't care what Hansen has said or written on twitter. He dislikes white men? I can think of reasons why I dislike white men too and I am one.

The old 'head in the sand' approach. I'm sure that'll work out well. 😂

Sure, it might "blow over" in the sense that people won't keep talking about it - but it won't blow over in that, the people who will now refuse to ever support your studio ever again (like me) will never forget, and this just 100% confirms that you genuinely do not care. Feargus, know that it is exactly your lack of actions that permanently killed any and all future support from a lifelong fan (from back in the Shattered Steel days). Well done.
That's just bad leadership. Imagine something like this happening in a military unit. What do you think would happen to that CO if someone under their command was sabotaging operations and they were just ignoring it.

is this legitimate criticism about the gameplay or lore retcons or about how woke the game is?

because if it's the latter i'm not gonna bother arguing lol.

It is legitimate criticism of all three of those.

You may like or at least don't mind the woke stuff, but I don't like nor want it in my games. And when a game's writing and character designs panders only to a certain crowd there is a problem and yes it's absolutely legitimate criticism.

But DAV had more important issues that BioWare chose to ignore when they were pointed out, like the game's extremely cringey writing, the changed design of the darkspawn and demons, the removal of choice, the lore retcons, the change from a true CRPG ... all of those were valid criticism and were completely ignored.

In Avowed's case we don't know how much pandering there will be, beyond those pronouns. But they often prove to be just the tip of the iceberg.

If pronouns and body type A & B are the extent of it, I can live with it. I don't like it and I WILL mod it out if possible, but it doesn't bother me that much as long as the story and gameplay is good.
And no, I don't mind gay characters, as long as they aren't forced onto me and their sexual preference isn't everything their personality revolves around.

What still blows my mind, is how much of an absolute selfish narcissist that racist dude Matt Hansen would have to be, to not be able to control his big mouth to the point he actually has put all his colleagues jobs at risk because he could not control himself.

Hell, at least Kotaku had the sense to fire Alyssa Mercante even though it wont save them.

This wont blow over though, they done cooked themselves and their future is at steak and it seems they are cooked.

Most of the character models we've seen have been pretty unappealing, not just the background npcs but the main characters too. I don't think every character should look like Transformers 2007 Megan Fox but why is everyone ugly?

It's world looks like you asked an AI to generate a soft fantasy world. In a genre where you can do anything I just don't understand why you'd make something look so uninspired?

Even if you ignore the Twitter antics of their devs the modernisms like pronouns and body types a/b tend to indicate deeper rot. Not all of the time but most of the time it is.

Writing is the most important part of an RPG like this and all we really have to go on there is recent games. If you liked Outer Worlds I think you'll probably be safe with this one. I personally thought it was a bit too quirky chungus millennial core.
