Going full mainstream now.....probably panic stations at Ubi, expect to see lots of articles in the next day or so from GAME "journalists" *cough* activists *cough* proclaiming Musk to be a right wing bigot/troll/something-phobe.

It is also fascinating observing some people use pretzel logic to argue that the garbage stories, characters, game mechanics and art found in modern games has nothing to do with the weirdos working on them who just happen to hate their core audience and the products produced for them.
Can't disagree that historical accuracy is of secondary importance, especially if Ubi is relying on historical consultants like Sachi Schmidt-Hori 😆
Don't be surprised if they manage to squeeze in some pedo side quests. 🤣
I don't doubt that. IMHO apart from a few exceptions, most of what Ubi has released post Assassin's Creed 2 and Farcry 3 has been hot garbage, but the fact that there is photo evidence confirming Kim Belair's involvement is enough confirmation for me to steer clear of this flaming DEI turd.
Game just got Sweet Baby Inc'ed....

I am shocked. And LoL at the diversity of all the middle aged western cat ladies working on this game!
Soooooooo its been added to the Sweet Baby Inc detected steam list.....next level retardation that an RTS game needs to pander to DEI.

Good thing I didn't pre-order. Fucking Gearbox.
If it wasn't for that fact that my current 13 year old machine is on life support I would already be playing it now. Hoping to upgrade in the next few months.
It's probably one of the best shows I have watched in recent memory. Think Game of Thrones without the suck and being historically/culturally accurate.
Also, lol at Assassins Creed DEI! Asmongold makes a good point though....

Disgraceful corporate behavior, I am glad that channels like Gamers Nexus have the clout to call this out.
I got it as part of this month's Humble Choice and so far I concur. It is also getting review.....bombed.....upwards?

And the apologists, shills and grifters who defend this will unironically label anyone who notices as an incel loser who has never seen a woman in real life before despite the fact that the models are based on real woman who look far more attractive than their in-game counterparts 🙄
Rumored to be the latest PSN port....

Not really unexpected considering all the other ports.
The only retarded conspiracy theory is the one which claims that the ongoing PC culture war in the West which has enveloped all popular forms of entertainment (TV, movies, comedy, comic books, tabletop games, sports, etc) has somehow overlooked video games. 🤣🙄
I am not a huge fan of PvE hoard co-op games, but I have to admit I am addicted to HD2. Just so much fun and the weapons feel visceral and satisfying.
All the mechanics would be great for a PvP game.
Nah, its just your weird imagination that some publishers/devs (particularly Western ones) have a bizarre fetish about making females game characters ugly now.
That's your perspective, there are plenty of people who lean the other way and many of them do not fall into your ad hominem "rage baiter" category.
And as demonstrable from your mentality, the DEI grifters and apologists rely on your apathy to keep pushing the boundary until this bullshit is...
Nope, because you are conflating the politics which may form part of an overarching narrative that players engage with and is inextricably part of the story telling, versus the politics of pandering by making small subversive changes to meet DEI objectives and pander to a tiny minority. Please...
Stop using false equivalencies because that is not what I said in relation to this specific game. What I complained about is that:
(a) they did not need to give Aloy a masculine fat potato head;
(b) that head is actually inconsistent with the original model from the first game;
(c) moreover, it...
