Wishful thinking.Aprils fools?
Never. There's no fun allowed anymore.when will games be just games again?
Doubt any one of them will get off their blogging ass to make a feminist inspired game. All talk no walk. Actually feminist propaganda in a game wouldn't bother me if the game itself was good.Thankfully the game industry is a private market and not a government one. The Free Market Forces will react accordingly: feminist inspired games will get a spike in sales due to FLAVOR OF THE MONTH but once the fad has worn its welcome and it's true colors have shown it'll die in obscurity like the rest of the other shitty politically inspired games that died before it. One can hope it contributes to The Second Video Game Crash so I can watch EA go bankrupt.
I don't think it's a "flavour of the month" thing. Many people deeply believe in this retarded shit. And this stuff will only gain more exposure as time goes by, it'll become a major social issue in a near future because the people who rule wants it this way.
I may be exagerating, but I think that in the future, any game that doesn't contain some of this stuff will be marginalized and considered fascist or some bullshit like that.
Honestly I don't think these people even buy games at all. I've seen several kickstarters with game footage and female main characters that didn't even get a news article from the most radical feminist sites and failed their goals. Not to mention their bitching might actually improve game sales (like I'm guessing what happened with Dragon's Crown) from keeping them in the news.Thankfully the game industry is a private market and not a government one.

As has often been said, there is no such thing as bad publicity. For every gamer scared off by the people bitching about feminism, I'm sure two bought the game because they like big tits. I know I do.Honestly I don't think these people even buy games at all.

I was never a fan of Anita Sarkeesian but I'm continually disappointed with her refusal to engage people with actual things to say
Got to wonder who the "game developers" this "choice" was, because I've seen female devs have had less than kind things to say about her.

*As a lot of the codex aren't from countries where native English speakers are the majority I should point out majoring in English is considered completely worthless professionally here as all English classes past middle school ever teach you is to increase your word count past an arbitrary minimum (it doesn't even help qualify you for teaching English! Any degree at all lets you do that).
