That's what I mean. I feel like that's all these big corporations care about
Women play games. And men who appreciate attention to detail play games.
The only people who might be turned away from buying this game because of this particular detail are incels. And why should a game studio cater to them?
Incels are a big player base. But they've probably done the math on which one benefits them more
Considering the game sold 8.4 million copies by April 2023, I don't think the incel community is as big of a player base as you think.
I'm guessing that's a lot of sales but I'm not sure how to measure this sort of detail's effect on the sales. Would be super interesting to know how much stuff like this moves the needle
Even if it doesn't move the needle much, inclusivity and portraying women accurately in media should be encouraged.
I was just talking from the game studio/distributor pov. If it is more profitable to be inclusive than not then that's win-win of course
