    I’m always surprised if a big corporation cares about anything other than making money tbh

      Why do you think that appealing to women and broadening their customer base would not make them money?

      Has everyone forgotten that women play games, too?

        I guess this is the sort of low effort thing they’d do, so you got me there

          I thought y’all were just complaining that it was too much effort to put in this detail?

          Now it’s low effort to be inclusive to women?

            I’m not sure you’re grouping me with with that “ya’ll”, I thought it was effort with no benefit (money) to them so I didn’t understand it.

              It seemed that you thought adding this level of realism wasn’t worth the additional effort, but when I pointed out that there are people who appreciate it, you called it low effort.

                Low effort is still effort? I didn’t think it was worth the effort, low as it might be

                  Clearly it was worth the effort with how many copies were sold.

                  Aside from that, personally, I think it’s always worth the effort to be inclusive when we can.

                    How can you tell what sort of effect this had to the sales? It was a popular franchise already from what I can remember, so you’d expect a lot of copies sold. But how this sort of detail affected it, would be really interesting to know. If they did/do it in later games it probably didn’t at least hurt them

                    Aside from that, personally, I think it’s always worth the effort to be inclusive when we can.

                    Corporation don’t really have proper values like that imo
