YouTube is a toxic dumpster fire now with all hate videos. It's like, a minefield. Prolly means I've watched all the good ones and need to rewatch them. My 'favorite' ones are the ones that bitch about it being "woke," like it's been "woke" since 2009.

Yeah, they say it like it's a bad thing. And as if something is being taken from them. The outrage! Woke abominations and freaks want to erase me! OMG

I'm not surprised if Bio assessed the potential "woke" type reaction before making their "inclusivity" decision. The pronouns is probably the sticky point. Regardless, Bio decided to go ahead estimating the blow back insufficient to harm game sales in a meaningful way.

OMG It's not just that they're complaining at things that were part of DA since DAO, but their incessant, blatant lying as well. Just look what's floating around Twitter. Shows how desperate they are for material to complain about.

BG3 had the same options (except for the scars) and nobody gave a damn. There's no reason to believe the few whiny morons on Twitter will make an actual impact in the long term.

Oh, they gave a damn - it's just that after BG3 became a roaring success they STFU very quickly. If DAVe is popular enough, they'll likely shut up as well, although I suspect they'll make a lot more attempts before they let it go.

You're talking about marketing versus shareholder disclosures. They are not the same. People can go to jail for lying in these disclosures. No matter what you, or anyone else might think about DAVe, Bioware or EA generally - this information is true. No-one is going to risk spending time in prison to make DAVe sound like it is selling better than it is. But what is "strong" demand? What are their expectations? Does it really matter at this point? Like really matter. Because we can't really know what those expectations are but I think its safe to say that we can make two logical conclusions from them. 1. Either their expectations, given everything that has happened the last ten years and given that apparently EA never really has believed in DA greatly, are low/ reasonable. Thus them meeting expectations for those low sales expectations is pretty good. 2. The game, given that it has been in production for awhile and thus has high costs, would have high expectations. And BioWare is meeting them anyway. The important thing is BioWare is meeting them.

True. There's a lot of made up stuff, they're grasping at straws. They are trying to create some "drama" to tank the game reception. I don't think people should even bother giving them views.

Yea, it's called "poisoning the well". I've seen preparations for it before the companion trailer dropped, with the usual suspects being like "uh oh, I hope Bioware won't ruin DA!" or "I really, REALLY hope that DA won't be full of THAT crap"...

It all comes down to a dirty game of engagement. Many don’t play DA or care at all. If Veilguard is successful, they’ll shamelessly change their tune, or just drop it and move on to the next thing.

Here's an example of the kind of culture war outrage slop YT will throw your way just because you've been watching normal DA-related videos: I believe the text says "8 different styles of glitter". I'm already buying it, no need to oversell it! YouTube is a toxic dumpster fire now with all hate videos. It's like, a minefield. Prolly means I've watched all the good ones and need to rewatch them. This place isn't much better. It's nowhere near that bad here, though a part of me doesn't want to believe that a grown adult would write the sentence "I am disappointed by the lack of feminine curves in the CC" non-ironically.
