It didn’t affect it enough to slump sales and impact their profits significantly. They still made a shit ton from the game.

I get that corporations don’t care about anything but money, but the people who work on these projects obviously care. And I think it should be upheld and celebrated so that corporations are more inclined to be inclusive this way.

Women make up a large portion of the gaming community despite what gamergate style gamers claim.

I just wonder if the overall effect was positive (for income) since that way they'll keep doing it. Otherwise they'll axe it

Movie studios keep making movies that flop.

The new God of War is forging ahead despite the incel’s tears about the protagonist being a woman.

I think this kind of representation will be around for a while. Again, women make up a very large portion of gamers now.
