no they haven't.
each of these games where the previous MC got replaced has NOT had a sequel yet.
Each of these new MCs are the LATEST installment.

There have been no installments since.

You're upset that women get one game (or a DLC) after the men get several? Even if this image represented all video games in existence, the balance isn't even 50-50 yet.

why would i be upset? im just not gonna buy it and enjoy watching the layoff announcements lol

I wouldn't bet on that.
Santa Monica's games have been all pretty profitable.

>>740317703
Feminists who hate men having their own spaces and somehow think they can get women into violent action games if they just gave players a femc. It never works and these games are still mostly played by "men" and generally underperform, even if not always flop.

I don't see threads about all the things you don't buy, but I see a lot of threads about a handful of particular ones, and you're in them talking loudly about not buying them, and about the losses you hope to cause people that way. I dunno, man, just doesn't sound like non-upset behaviour.

(YOU) the faggots that say - i look at woman character butt its not gay, its better to stare at woman ass than at mans... You caused this, you convinced the publishers that its okay to make a female mc because you will play as her, you create female characters in rpg, you post webms with asses. Feminists existed always but you, you gave them the power and now you reap what you sow.
p.s. its still and always will be gay to play as a woman.

Sometimes it's actually just the creators (new or old) making fiction without any compliance to audiences. Other times, it's out of compliance to activism. If I was able to choose the battles of online discourse, I would only focus on opposing the latter. The easiest battles should be fought for victory, and unrestricted fiction is worth fighting for.

Actvists aim to restrict fiction to realistic, progressive (and sometimes horsehoe theory'd into puritan) expressions only.
Regarding their aim of realistic & progressive, Microsoft's developer guidelines are exactly this. If there's any confusion on what is intended by activists, see [1]. Microsoft, compliant to unsustainable activists, promotes self-restriction of fiction to make it more realistic & progressive.
Creators comply either because they're pressured, or they agree that fiction must be restricted to realism & progressive ideals. This is antithetical to fiction as a medium.
Then, platform restrictions - like Sony's which applied the standards of the nonfictional #MeToo movement to restrict the fictional expressions of video games[2] - ensure that noncompliant fiction is censored or banned. Every platform (Apple, Google, PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, and Steam) has restrictions that have caused censorship, and often it's regarding fictional females & fictional sexual expressions.

I went to the shop today but it would be easier to tell you what I did buy rather than what I didn't
In fact why would I talk about things I didn't buy because they didn't interest me
Now if someone were talking specifically about how they refused to buy meat and never buy meat and in fact they constantly talk about not buying meat, that's more than a lack of interest, you see
