I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.
XBOX has an entire website devoted to DEI guidelines for their games.
There is an explicit rule about not having exaggerated body proportions for female characters and to make sure they are girl-bosses.
XBOX will never be great again until they take down these rules.
> create a franchise centered around a male protagonist
> watch the franchise become a huge success, with the protagonist becoming its most iconic character and building a massive fanbase around the world
> decide to ride the success of that established franchise by creating a new female character to replace the male lead and push a feminist agenda
> completely alienate the original fanbase, tell them the game isn't for them, and then blame them when the new game fails
when will they ever learn?
