I feel like a huge portion of corporate America has adopted the following strategy:

  • Half ass a product despite a comically large budget, resulting in a product that ranges in quality from mediocre to downright terrible
  • Stick some culture war shit somewhere in the product
  • Expect reviewers to give you overwhelmingly positive reviews based off political virtue signaling
  • Put a magnifying glass on the vocal minority of genuinely toxic fans, so that you can claim everyone who doesn't like the mediocre product is toxic
  • bullshit about sales numbers
  • Obfuscate individual success/failures on earnings reports, and blame overall underperformance on "macroeconomic conditions"

Like at this point it's on me for engaging with these posts I guess.

Stick some culture war shit somewhere in the product

you mean minorities?

Tbf any women or minorities in a game seem to be a trigger and somehow overtly political for the reactionary right wing snowflakes anymore.
