There have been downsides to that strategy.

Exactly.
I wouldn’t give one stitch of free publicity hating on them might bring.
IGNORE, and do NOT buy crap from em!

Approximately 40% of worldwide gamers are female.

China has the highest concentration of female gamers, where it is considered a sport with competitions and professional teams.

Here in the US, 70% of gamers are white.

Great move cutting off half of your potential client base.

Then she surely won’t mind when white gamers don’t buy it.

I've been playing video games since that Magnavox unit featuring "Pong" back in the mid-1970s. In all these years I've never factored race, sex nor politics in my choices. Mechanics, creativity, replay value and FUN in a world allowing a short respite from the world's crap are what's important.

Okay, let me catch my breath after several minutes of laughing.

I asked my youngest son, a high school senior, if he ever heard of this game and mentioned that the developer made sure to exclude white male characters as an option.

He started to chuckle. Since he has Aspergers and will candidly discuss any topic, I asked him to explain. It appears that all female cast games are popular with pre-teen and teenage boys. They will “bunny them out” (ala Playboy Bunny), the sexier the better, and then take care of “personal business” so to speak.

I don’t know what I find funnier, the fact that boys will be boys no matter the medium or this woke woman’s female empowerment shtick will backfire in spectacular fashion.

And this is a "good" photo of her, for her LinkedIn profile.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb here, saying she's been rejected by white males, over and over.

Same ol thing.

They all lie when they say its about equality.

It never was. We all know it. Blacks. Women. Never was it about equality.

It can be seen in all other areas of life. This is just the latest admission.

Heres the thing. If she didnt mention it, no one wouldve noticed. This is why this game is bound to fail. The folks trying to waste time worrying about this type of nonsense generally make garbage games because they dont focus on the development of the actual gameplay and UI. Wait until she notices that no one wants to buy her trash game lol.
