I have nothing against the gay community or homosexuals at all. Be free to love whoever you want. I just don't understand why it needs to be portrayed this in-your-face in the game industry. Have a gay character .. maybe 1 out of every 10 characters to reflect their actual representation in society. Will it hold up over time--who the fuck cares?! Art reflects society. Society doesn't reflect art.
Even if you want to promote peace and harmony, you're not going to be able to do it with tweets like this. Acknowledge where we are and built into that. Maybe society will push back and you'll adjust too. Just be aware of what the world really is and reflect it appropriately. When people look back at games from 10 years from now (just like we look at the old games from the 90s today), we're going to come up with a lot of conclusions about gaming culture.

to encourage young people to try it.
it is essentially faggots advertizing faggotry in the hope to convert more young people to faggotry.

That's precisely the fucking problem.
All faggots had got to stay in the closet or die. When you give them power, they would literally do anything to spread this "progressive politically correct" bullshit and ruin our society. They would ally with terrorists, illegals, feminazis, and all form of degeneracy in order to elect leftard politicians.
It is necessary for us to suppress faggotry in order to enforce traditional societal structure and keep status quo. Do you think those Muslim countries give a fuck if some random men want to fuck each other? But they sure know that it is imperative to suppress degeneracy and criminalize them, in order to prevent the chain reaction like feminism and the whole leftard wave of ideology which ruin countries.

You think the extremists in Muslim countries throw gays off roofs and "honor kill" women who have been raped because they're intent on "suppressing degeneracy" in order to prevent "feminism and the whole leftard wave of ideology"? Is that really what you believe?

Furry communities have a propensity for tearing themselves apart with drama. Channers usually lends a hand in the unmaking. This would also be more entertaining than the HWNDU series. Plus it would have a major game industry and stock market impact. Which I think all of the chans would view as an achievement trophy that would rise above most. Besides, at this point who still has any love for EA? It would be a modern day cultural coup.

Its still going to sell millions and EA is going to make a shit ton of money. Barely anybody will boycott and the loot box practice will continue because they've finally found something more profitable than on disc dlc and microtransactions (but they will continue to include those as well). This is how gaming is now.

Sure... NFL profits aint down either.

Gaming died when they started banning you for call people a nigger kike faggot.

This happened because a few years ago Activision tried to raise their COD price to $80 or something along those lines. Gamers were furious, it was looking like they might actually band together and boycott. They abandoned the idea and went for cosmetic purchases afaik.

Except for the fact that they own every major IP that there is and they will never give them up. I agree that some smaller studios are putting out some quality stuff. Larian recently released Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is one of the best RPGs ever made. Even still, it will never make even half as much as the next shitty Mass Effect.
And anything indie that's even remotely successful will have EA and Activision throwing their wallets at it to acquire it so they can destroy it.
I have to give credit to whoever came up with the loot box system though. Its so terribly evil and just unimaginabley profitable.

Mark my words, 100 years from now, "normal" white men would mostly play games made in non-politically correct libtard nations.
It's not just Japanese devs getting more and more "western" market share, these days you even have white men buying "made in china" games through steam and it's not even western culture or whatever. Also politically wrong european country would churn more and more games at it will be much more appealing to normal men because they are good old games adhering to traditional culture.
Because at this rate, RPG made by the "progressive west" in the future wouldn't allow you to select straight male as a main character, and all the heroines are all fat and ugly, with darker than black skin, and were former men.

I haven't played any decent indie games in forever; most seem half-baked. But I've also stopped buying any AAA games (excluding the Witcher) and I think there's more like me. Eventually game devs might figure this shit out and make decent games again.

Believe it or not, but EA got the most downvotes in Reddit history over this ! But yes unsuspecting grandparents will gobble this game up for their grandkids and the machine will move forward. I remember back when Blizzard first introduced a flying sparkly mount for cash. No in game upgrade other than visual. There was an uproar, but the writing was on the wall. People paid the sub, and the cash shop opened.

what has the video game industry and its SJW freaks done now? ELi5... btw don't play much games these days so i'm out of this gamer loop

General ass hattery and a massive push for micro-transactions, I think it was Ubisoft but may have the wrong company, that just made more in a quarter/year? in micro-transactions then in game sales. A great deal of day one DLC. There has also been a debate going on between gaming and Europe? on weather loot boxes are gambling or not, most of the gamers here don't see the discussion it is, especially when they sell the keys for real money.
