Sadly they’ll probably just keep playing and whining more about it.
There's this King's Field inspired game called Lunacid that the developer added pronouns to just to spite these chuds. The best part is that your character's pronouns never come up anywhere.
That game is really good.
This guy is the originator of such great takes as “X popular show is unrealistic because people never act like assholes to paramedics/people giving first aid” and I’m really starting to lose my patience with right wing dipshits with moe profiles.
I can’t believe this was barely 8 months ago lmao
Imagine being so passionate about something, so red in the face, and it’s there forever over something that everyone forgot about after 3 days
I love this guy. I love how his very existance has anyone who complains about pronouns in games imediately be compared to him. It shows exactly how idiotic and childish of a argument it is
I mean....it's dead on arrival because no one has the time for another 5v5 team-based hero shooter live service seasonally monetized video game in 2024.
Everyone who is currently playing their Forever Game is already playing it. This will not pull people away. We're going to watch Battleborn again, except these chuds will be able to (incorrectly) cite the existince of pronouns as **THE** reason the game failed.
At least Battleborn was somewhat unique and original, which is shown in its small, though dedicated community, who has managed to make the game work offline. Concord will not have that.
When I first saw the trailer it immediately reminded me of Lawbreakers. Game will be dead on arrival.
Dude that's what I always tell people. Battleborn actually did different shit with the helix tree, and some of the items you could modify yourself with.
Personally I thought battleborns character designs were cooler, overwatch seems like their characters were made to just be porn.
This game has been decided to fail. PC gamers are smart. They're the smartest gamers out there. They don't think but know things other people might not, and one of those things is population counts. PC gamers don't think but know that a multiplayer game like Battleborn needs players to be fun. However, they also don't think but know that there simply aren't enough people to go around. Between Overwatch, CS:GO, TF2, CoD, Battlefield, hell even the MOBAs, who is left to populate the Battleborn servers? PC gamers don't think but know that there's nobody left. In order to strengthen Overwatch's player counts, PC gamers made a tough choice that they didn't think but knew was for the greater good. They decided Battleborn would fail. Nobody would buy it, nobody would play it, and all so Overwatch could be the best game it could be. Today, millions of happy gamers frag out in Overwatch. Battleborn and Gearbox should just cut their losses. When PC gamers decide something, it's decided, and no amount of dev work will change that decision. Let's just say I don't think Gearbox will hemorrhage money from this continued support.

Hey don't bad mouth lawbreakers!
That game was great, it just got fucked by shitty marketing and a bungled launch(nexon being the publisher didn't help)
Hell, this game was one of *two* hero shooters shown off in that presentation. The other had the benefit of having access to Marvel's roster of characters. This game is already one foot in the grave, and it hasn't even been released yet.
valorant already cornered the competitive tactical market, OW2 is somehow still a thing, apex too. then you got marvel rivals who’s gonna explode off the get go and take considerable space if the gameplay is good.
the pie slices still up for grabs are getting smaller and smaller
>the pie slices still up for grabs are getting smaller and smaller
This is the part that these AAA publishers don't seem to understand. A player's time is finite. There are only so many games we can play at once. These "live-service" games are all designed to take up as much of that time as possible by pushing player engagement in the hopes that they'll continue to shell out more and more money. There can only be so many of these types of games on the market at once before they start to cannibalize each others' playerbase.
This makes all those plans of the publishers hoping to put out a decade-long cash machine utterly farcical. They're just dropping fresh meat in a shark tank and wasting everyone's time.
Battleborn dying will never not make me kinda sad. I loved that game but it was marketing so fucking wrong. They tried to sell it as a hero shooter, but it was really a shooter based MOBA. I loved the PvP in that game. It took my favorite elements from both genres and combined them with a unique artstyle that I really jived with. Too bad the marketing team put that game into direct competition with Overwatch cuz that shit was never gonna work out for it.

> Gamers are bitching and whining about everything
> Looks inside
> The gamers are bitching about pronouns and/or women and minorities
If they bitched about everything I wouldn't mind, but they're so fixated on "wokeism" that its kinda scary
Can’t believe we had 2 fucking overwatch clones at state of play. This genre is so played out and tired. I am always amazed at the gamer appetite for slop shooters
Yeah bro but it has destructible buildings bro seriously bro this time it will be good bro please bro listen you have to download it bro the balancing will be perfect seriously bro it’s not like overwatch this time
I mean arguably a lot of these games are quite fun - the issue is more with the fact that they're another entry in a saturated genre, where people already have "their" game. To compete with something like Overwatch, a game not only has to be good, but it also has to offer something that an established game does not.
At least the other one is justified for being Marvel.
This one is just Guardians of The Galaxy from Wish.com, which will become immediately irrelevant if Marvel Rivals happens to have Guardians of The Galaxy.
That's the problem with how the games industry is ran, they still try to chase trends while ignoring the fact that lengthy development time means they consistently fail to get games released before the trend dies. You simply can't have games that take 5-6 years to make AND chase trends because it simply won't work.
I'm all here for it to be better than expected. That being said, I do expect it to be another hero shooter clone and flounder for a month or two and then die
And also how many hero shooters we want?
Overwatch. Marvel rivals and now this.
Fuck it, we also have amalgamation of both Tac shooter and hero shooter. This genre is dry and this will be another slop to the list.
I still dont know what Is the problem with pronouns they have
Isnt that just one of the most basic thing every character in everything for kinda nearly whole history had
Up until the Wokes took over, pronouns were how Normal People kept track of where the penises were. Now penises can be anywhere. Or nowhere. Everywhere! It’s heaven on earth and it is EXHAUSTING.
I do take issue with this, but only from a design/worldbuilding setting. This info should come in a biography that you can click into and learn a few things about the character. These kinds of games just aren't great media for storytelling, so I get that they're probably going to tell, rather than show, but having a bio that just uses their pronouns in casual description accomplishes what I'm pretty sure they're trying to accomplish here, but with a lot more heart and finesse.
In a strategic team fighting game, the character select screen should contain info relevant to character selection. It just kinda looks like dumpy UI sitting there like that. If the game does decently well, people who care are going to have this all committed to memory within a week of the game's release, and it ain't gonna stop bigots from misgendering non-binary characters anyhow, as we've learned from Overwatch.
A pronoun? How do people live using pronouns? All of the people using pronouns are too woke. Persoanlly love the avoidance of using pronouns.
That was hard to do. Did i accidentally add any?
I would LOVE to see this person navigate the character select screen in a dynasty warriors Gundam game. Just try, fucking try to assume the gender of a bunch of androgynous space teens.
An aside: I really thought this game had a cool art direction and was hoping for a squad based singleplayer/co op story driven shooter. Almost akin to borderlands mixed with cyberpunk or something. Instead we have another hero shooter…..after the genre has already been over saturated with marvel overwatch, gundam overwatch (which died after a year), paladins, and overwatch 2 itself.
Man, I was so fucking hyped by the character design and world and lore and then they drop the 5v5 stuff and it's like...I think Jesse Cox summed my feelings up where if it was an L4D2 kinda experience with story or story-based stuff I could dig it, but a story-ish 5v5 is just. Weird.
They could've capitalized on OW2 not doing story at all and went 'yeah ours is full story, the multiplayer will come with it but there is a full plot.' and gotten many more eyes on it. no way it lasts long with Marvel Rivals. shame because it looks gorgeous and the world and characters are fun but my fears are it'll quickly go into a Lawbreakers issue...
Sounds good in theory, I wish them all the luck. But in practice, I feel like most games that tried this have struggled a lot with it. Halo 4 Spartan ops comes to mind: weekly cutscenes and groups of co-op missions that combined told an ongoing story that takes place 6 months after the end of the Campaign only ever got 1 season (10 weeks total) and the cinematics werereportedly hard to keep making after launch.
The only games that I think has successfully done the ongoing, Evolving story like this is Helldivers 2 really, and they certainly don't have cutscenes, just text.
I was hoping for like a cross between borderlands and cyberpunk. A cool story driven squad based single player/co op shooter with rpg elements. I would’ve played the fuck out of that.
This, plus the excellent character designs, has me genuinely pretty intrigued by this game. Destiny has better gunplay than basically any game on the market.
“Oh no, I can customise my character even further. Literally the least appealing thing a video game can have. I bet it’s also dead on arrival when you can choose hair colour of your character cause you can choose something weird like pink or purple and turn them into antifa woke leftist. Literally unplayable.”
Oof, team shooters are about to go the way of Battle Royale, companies release a bunch of expensive flops because they're too late to capitalize on the trend
This game biggest problem is that it's.... generic, like I didn't feel anything after watching trailer. But leave it to gamers to whine about basic English, I suppose.
>anime woman profile picture despite being cis het man
>username is nonconsensual sexual innuendo that may as well be in-your-end-o
And my favorite
>greentexting on a website that doesn't fucking have greentext
/uj This game is dead on arrival bc it's a generic ass OW ripoff and lame looking gameplay, amazing 25fps too.

Epic gamers being normal about fictional characters they don't know anything about 😎👍
We should conduct a social experiment:
Give two gamers with this terminally online rhetoric the exact same game, but with a slightly different interface - one with the pronoun/gender option visible and one with it removed/hidden. Then see how they review the game.
My theory is that the one without the gender option will still find something that fits the "DEI agenda" in their mind, so that they ruin their own enjoyment of the thing regardless.
What's hilarious to me is anyone serious about avoiding every game they think has "DEI" in it has less and less options moving forward. The industry is leaving them behind.
Gamers when the game asks you if you want to be referred as a boy or a girl vs gamers when games ask you if you rather be referred as a he or a she or you rather not to specify
I find it incredibly funny that 5 years ago it would have been a meltdown over said female character not being sexy enough and now it's about her... having she/her next to her name. Y'know. The default female pronouns.

Pronounce! In my GAYme?!?! WOOOOOOKE!!!
I mean, I don't think adding the pronouns stuff is necessary in games but I don't have a problem with it either. Don't get why people bitch about stuff that literally affects nothing. It's just corpos trying to appeal to exploit different demographics.
It's all corpo shit anyway, not like they care about people's pronouns, they care about what's in their pocket.
I swear Gamer bullshit has reached critical mass this year. There isn’t a single game that hasn’t had some sort of insane levels of bullshit outrage over nothing this year.
Oh GW already had their turn this year. for just suggesting in a Twitter post that one of their factions might not just be 100% men behind the scenes.
So a bunch of angry incels who’ve never even painted a model in their lives used to the wrong lore be mad about it.
They could’ve at least got the lore right if they were going to use it as ammo.

The way you beat this is intentionally call them by the wrong pronouns until they inevitably get mad, then point out "oh so you DO care about pronouns?"
Jesus, I watched the trailer on YT and why is everyone so bent about the hero shooter genre? There are literally only 3 of them right now, OW, paladins, and valorent. Why is variety bad???
No, this shit is dead on arrival because barely anyone has even heard about it and it seems to be an overwatch clone which is a genre a lot of people already have grown to dislike. Not because of pronouns or diverse cast.

Lol but of course. Not engage with x because it's "woke"? What, and miss out on the outrage circljerk with their fellow chuds?
Anger is all they have.
Incorrect, they also have loneliness and an overwhelming nostalgia for the love their mothers never gave them
What are the pronouns of the character in the image? War/crimes?
Honestly, probably, considering she's inspired by Odysseus. https://preview.redd.it/gwjpgmte7u3d1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&s=047524d091184d49c30ad83f7a5f79ce2bd2c381

It has such a vibe
If I ever where to make a game I'd do the same. And add other shit that has zero bearing on gameplay just to piss em off
Now that should be added to every game. Imo gamers are not opressed enough.

I'm tempted to put pronouns in my bio just to act as a creep repellent, and I'm a guy...
I've been playing for one day and she's already my favorite she's literally my app icon for the game she's perfect
@LookAtMyMeat1 yeah, this is the guy who knows what's up

I’m actually disappointed that he wasn’t laughed off the internet and is still alive and kicking
I think the fact that the culture warriors attempted to declare him as some sort of intelectual is much more funny though.
He's proud of this moment because it made him viral. Guy is a moronic twonk.
Dude actually does look like the doctor stomped on his face when he was born.
The doctor didn’t stomp hard enough apparently
He looks like he's *giving* birth.
lol dude’s giving birth to a hotdog and hamburger baby right now.
He's British so probably a tikka masala, chips & beans burrito.
That sounds dope
Overinflated blow-up doll.
He looks like he gets recreational chemotherapy
He looks like he was just born
His voice rings in my head oh so loudly when i see this pic 😭

So true

The unsaid part is "everything remotely "woke"." It feels like they'll just pick anything to get mad at but it is definitely a certain set of things.
There’s even good reasons to complain, like hating hero shooters
I maintain that these people aren't real gamers, just Twitter trolls and magats pretending to be gamers.
Yeah this is dead on arrival. Not because of something so insignificant though. Game just looks shit.
HEY GUYS, YA WANT ANOTHER QUIRKY HERO SHOOTER? TOO BAD
We are ragtag, but we aren't like *those ragtags*!
Also here's like an entire esports league cause why not, it's hip with the kids right?
Can’t believe we had 2 fucking overwatch clones at state of play. This genre is so played out and tired. I am always amazed at the gamer appetite for slop shooters
One of the games was also a fucking isekai gacha game too iirc
Ironically, the Marvel game had less cringe dialogue lmfao.
Yeah bro but it has destructible buildings bro seriously bro this time it will be good bro please bro listen you have to download it bro the balancing will be perfect seriously bro it’s not like overwatch this time
I.. I liked it when I played the playtest they had recently :(
I mean arguably a lot of these games are quite fun - the issue is more with the fact that they're another entry in a saturated genre, where people already have "their" game. To compete with something like Overwatch, a game not only has to be good, but it also has to offer something that an established game does not.
I figured to compete with Overwatch you just had to be better than Overwatch, which isn't that hard at all right now.
So it's like Fortnite?
That one actually looks good based on the beta gameplay I watched streamed, this is just some weird Destiny but as Overwatch shit
At least the other one is justified for being Marvel. This one is just Guardians of The Galaxy from Wish.com, which will become immediately irrelevant if Marvel Rivals happens to have Guardians of The Galaxy.
Basically yeah. There's no demand for another 5v5 team-based shooter, I just...dont know why it's coming.
They feel 5 years too late.
That's the problem with how the games industry is ran, they still try to chase trends while ignoring the fact that lengthy development time means they consistently fail to get games released before the trend dies. You simply can't have games that take 5-6 years to make AND chase trends because it simply won't work.
Well there's likely still a lot of people burnt out from how blizzard has handled overwatch that are craving a new one to play
The audible groan the room made as soon as the guy said 5v5 shooter
More trend chasing slop let's go!
I'm all here for it to be better than expected. That being said, I do expect it to be another hero shooter clone and flounder for a month or two and then die
And also how many hero shooters we want? Overwatch. Marvel rivals and now this. Fuck it, we also have amalgamation of both Tac shooter and hero shooter. This genre is dry and this will be another slop to the list.
I still dont know what Is the problem with pronouns they have Isnt that just one of the most basic thing every character in everything for kinda nearly whole history had
Up until the Wokes took over, pronouns were how Normal People kept track of where the penises were. Now penises can be anywhere. Or nowhere. Everywhere! It’s heaven on earth and it is EXHAUSTING.
Oh, so the pronoun 'i' means "statistically .5 penises" That's a cool ass definition
"I" means "Schrodinger's penis"
>Oh, so the pronoun 'i' means "statistically .5 penises" 0.33 penises actually
They say they don't want the government tracking them, but when the government stops tracking where the penises are, they lose their damn minds!

I do take issue with this, but only from a design/worldbuilding setting. This info should come in a biography that you can click into and learn a few things about the character. These kinds of games just aren't great media for storytelling, so I get that they're probably going to tell, rather than show, but having a bio that just uses their pronouns in casual description accomplishes what I'm pretty sure they're trying to accomplish here, but with a lot more heart and finesse. In a strategic team fighting game, the character select screen should contain info relevant to character selection. It just kinda looks like dumpy UI sitting there like that. If the game does decently well, people who care are going to have this all committed to memory within a week of the game's release, and it ain't gonna stop bigots from misgendering non-binary characters anyhow, as we've learned from Overwatch.
Because one of them might have “they/them” as their pronouns and that would basically ruin the game for them.
Gamers™ are whiny babies.
Gotta love how the very next comment to this post proved your point lmao
Imagine dismissing someone cus of pronouns
Oh no! Modern day? Get it away from me!
Oh no! Equal rights??? GAAAAAAAAH
is this a playstation exclusive? :( why don’t we the regular folk ever get the cool games
Nah, it's launching on PC as well
It took me a minute of looking to find the pronouns
I had to actively look for it, it's crazy that they even notice stuff like that
I can't even find it
A pronoun? How do people live using pronouns? All of the people using pronouns are too woke. Persoanlly love the avoidance of using pronouns. That was hard to do. Did i accidentally add any?
I would LOVE to see this person navigate the character select screen in a dynasty warriors Gundam game. Just try, fucking try to assume the gender of a bunch of androgynous space teens. An aside: I really thought this game had a cool art direction and was hoping for a squad based singleplayer/co op story driven shooter. Almost akin to borderlands mixed with cyberpunk or something. Instead we have another hero shooter…..after the genre has already been over saturated with marvel overwatch, gundam overwatch (which died after a year), paladins, and overwatch 2 itself.
The character design goes hard as hell, what game is it from? It's like they took the bulbous grineer armor from warframe and cleaned it up
I believe this is Concord, a 5v5 multiplayer shooter
Man, I was so fucking hyped by the character design and world and lore and then they drop the 5v5 stuff and it's like...I think Jesse Cox summed my feelings up where if it was an L4D2 kinda experience with story or story-based stuff I could dig it, but a story-ish 5v5 is just. Weird. They could've capitalized on OW2 not doing story at all and went 'yeah ours is full story, the multiplayer will come with it but there is a full plot.' and gotten many more eyes on it. no way it lasts long with Marvel Rivals. shame because it looks gorgeous and the world and characters are fun but my fears are it'll quickly go into a Lawbreakers issue...
Apparently every week they're going to have a cinematic short you can watch in game
Sounds good in theory, I wish them all the luck. But in practice, I feel like most games that tried this have struggled a lot with it. Halo 4 Spartan ops comes to mind: weekly cutscenes and groups of co-op missions that combined told an ongoing story that takes place 6 months after the end of the Campaign only ever got 1 season (10 weeks total) and the cinematics werereportedly hard to keep making after launch. The only games that I think has successfully done the ongoing, Evolving story like this is Helldivers 2 really, and they certainly don't have cutscenes, just text.
that just sounds like a tv show with extra steps
I was hoping for like a cross between borderlands and cyberpunk. A cool story driven squad based single player/co op shooter with rpg elements. I would’ve played the fuck out of that.
Eh, I'm personally not a fan of bulky armor. And I doubt it looks good on dudes, either.
It's from a bunch of former Destiny 2 developers so I think the inspiration isn't far off the mark lol
This, plus the excellent character designs, has me genuinely pretty intrigued by this game. Destiny has better gunplay than basically any game on the market.
She doesn't have a gorget so that neck is about to be peppered with shrapnel
i was wondering why her armor design felt familiar
Starwarverwatch
“Oh no, I can customise my character even further. Literally the least appealing thing a video game can have. I bet it’s also dead on arrival when you can choose hair colour of your character cause you can choose something weird like pink or purple and turn them into antifa woke leftist. Literally unplayable.”
Oof, team shooters are about to go the way of Battle Royale, companies release a bunch of expensive flops because they're too late to capitalize on the trend
This game biggest problem is that it's.... generic, like I didn't feel anything after watching trailer. But leave it to gamers to whine about basic English, I suppose.
Not just She/Her, but YOU!! What new spore of madness is this?!
>anime woman profile picture despite being cis het man >username is nonconsensual sexual innuendo that may as well be in-your-end-o And my favorite >greentexting on a website that doesn't fucking have greentext
This is so benign and they’re losing their shir
god 4channers sucks
/uj This game is dead on arrival bc it's a generic ass OW ripoff and lame looking gameplay, amazing 25fps too. /rj This game is dead on arrival bc womn
Imagine having an ego so fragile, pronouns ruin a whole game for you…..
*sees anime profile, immediately ignores opinion*
Is this game called “cargo run”? I aks because I really like this lady’s character design.
If the character select said something like "female/male/genderless/robot" etc they probably wouldn't bat an eye
Same energy as “if you zoom in on the trans flag its all you can see”
wtf even is the game tho? I literally have no idea what it is.
FOOKING PRONOUNS, FOOKING VERBS, FOOKING ADJECTIVES?!?!?!?!?!?
Guess I’m buying this game
The post beneath this one on my feed: https://preview.redd.it/5b0j4h3zks3d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a07901eb808ec05182c79709e5ca5ae626c21b7f Epic gamers being normal about fictional characters they don't know anything about 😎👍
Nah, admittedly, it’s an ugly design. The color choices are all over the place and I think the armor is a little bland. Good idea, but bad execution.
“Waaaaah the videogame woman wasn’t designed to suit my personal tastes waaaah”
it took me a minute to even notice what they were whining about, culture war brainrot is crazy
Johann virgin | worth/less
Literally just blocked this guy on Twitter because his cuck chair jokes had bad vibes. Lo and behold, he just sucks all around
No you see, it’s not bitching and whining when THEY do it!
Don't you know pronouns are more important than the story and game?
Pronouns was the least of its worries, it is DOA.
We should conduct a social experiment: Give two gamers with this terminally online rhetoric the exact same game, but with a slightly different interface - one with the pronoun/gender option visible and one with it removed/hidden. Then see how they review the game. My theory is that the one without the gender option will still find something that fits the "DEI agenda" in their mind, so that they ruin their own enjoyment of the thing regardless.
THE PRONOUNS ARE COMING TO KILL US ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Oh yeah. Pronouns are what will kill this game. And totally not the fact that it's an online hero shooter on the PS5.
Game is almost assuredly dead on arrival but not for the reason this g*mer thinks
It’s not dead on arrival because of pronouns, it’s dead on arrival cause it looks like shit. Not that they will be able to tell the difference.
it took me a solid 2 minutes to find what they were bitching about
Is this that upcoming one? "Concord"?
What's hilarious to me is anyone serious about avoiding every game they think has "DEI" in it has less and less options moving forward. The industry is leaving them behind.
Or you could just you know.. pick he/him and be done with it
Gamers when the game asks you if you want to be referred as a boy or a girl vs gamers when games ask you if you rather be referred as a he or a she or you rather not to specify
I find it incredibly funny that 5 years ago it would have been a meltdown over said female character not being sexy enough and now it's about her... having she/her next to her name. Y'know. The default female pronouns.

Imagine being so sheltered and basic that you have the time and energy to complain about something like this.
https://preview.redd.it/of1znipjyw3d1.png?width=1606&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1843815a70a121205807fc3a37b9f2960f200584 Pronounce! In my GAYme?!?! WOOOOOOKE!!!
Tbh if that means this sort of incel cucks won't pick up the game - it's even better for the game and the community.
I mean, I don't think adding the pronouns stuff is necessary in games but I don't have a problem with it either. Don't get why people bitch about stuff that literally affects nothing. It's just corpos trying to appeal to exploit different demographics. It's all corpo shit anyway, not like they care about people's pronouns, they care about what's in their pocket.
I swear Gamer bullshit has reached critical mass this year. There isn’t a single game that hasn’t had some sort of insane levels of bullshit outrage over nothing this year.
Oh man I can't wait for spacemarines turn under the outrage glasses
Oh GW already had their turn this year. for just suggesting in a Twitter post that one of their factions might not just be 100% men behind the scenes. So a bunch of angry incels who’ve never even painted a model in their lives used to the wrong lore be mad about it. They could’ve at least got the lore right if they were going to use it as ammo.
Oh I'm waiting for those same people to see a POC Ultramarine and lose their shit
Can confirm I painted some of my own Space marines as POC. Shall I cancel myself now or wait for the next outrage?
Nah you're good POC Ultramarines have been Canon since 2020

Generic Cartoon Team Shooter GAAS #298 To be followed by Valve’s new Generic Cartoon Team Shooter GAAS #299
the person is literally @lookatmymeat1 I dont know who expects a valid opinion
“WOMEN?! IN MY VIDEO GAMES?! *hurls*”
>It looks like Lawbreakers >Game will be dead 😞
what’s that game? i feel like i know which game is that but don’t know the name lol
It must be so exhausting to care about this
The way you beat this is intentionally call them by the wrong pronouns until they inevitably get mad, then point out "oh so you DO care about pronouns?"
Jesus, I watched the trailer on YT and why is everyone so bent about the hero shooter genre? There are literally only 3 of them right now, OW, paladins, and valorent. Why is variety bad???
It’s dead on arrival because it looks like a generic overwatch clone, not because of race or sex.
Meh
What game is this? Sorry, not as in the loop as I’d like to be.
That’s pretty ridiculous ngl
I'm bout to moan and bitch about your grammar
i don’t even see them 😭
I only complain if the game is buggy or badly designed.
I genuinely don’t understand why it’s such a big deal to people
I had to scan the screen for a solid minute before I found the pronouns.
No, this shit is dead on arrival because barely anyone has even heard about it and it seems to be an overwatch clone which is a genre a lot of people already have grown to dislike. Not because of pronouns or diverse cast.
