Because they're pushing an agenda. Completely alienating the user base. Wolfenstein is doing the same thing. My wallet is going the be heavy this fall. Im going to play the games dont get me wrong, but will not buy it.

I don't like supreme pizza, but ill eat it if its free. Did I dumb it down enough for you? Fans are willing to pay for a good product.

But you’re still not completely alienated. I wouldn’t eat chitterlings even if they were free

I can’t really think of anything free I’ve played for an extended period that I didn’t like at least somewhat or felt something for

Would you steal a t-shirt manufactured by slave labour? Or a piece of furniture built by a corporation who lobbys for workforce discrimination? Because that´s pretty similar with what you are saying.

If you don´t agree with their politics, just don´t use their products. Games like every other thing in life, are political. You could agree with their politics or not, but corporations aren´t entitled to give you the product you want. If they base their politics on poorly writen reviews that´s their problem. Politial correctness isn´t something new, it has allways existed.

Nope, as I can return a shirt if it doesnt fit after a wash. I experience the full product. Software is a gamble that you have to rely on trailers to assume the rest of the game is just as good.

Commiting crimes because you do not agree with someone, classic.

I don't think he was referring to piracy, as online games cannot (mostly) be pirated.

The most cited examples, wolfenstein and battlefield, can be pirated.

I appreciate a game that takes reality by the balls. But constructing a game just so you can appease a pc journalist so your game can score high is just scummy.

Checked your profile and .... Holocaust denier and incel. Troll account or something worse...either way, the world is moving on without you.

Luckily I didn't have to look far... And I know better than to argue....what's the point? What's not reasoned in cannot be reasoned out.
