@leonscottkenny: I'd argue that a significant portion (a majority even) of the kvetching we see on this and other gaming sites' comment sections is a result of lots or people having entirely broken and unrealistic expectations.
@uninspiredcup: Unless it's necessities, then who cares?
FFS people. It's beyond amazing that the gaming community...of all things...has managed to take a top 5 spot on the list of "groups who need to let their sphincters relax a bit".
How to get it for less: let go of the fomo, wait a few weeks for the price to drop and by then, when you get it for $20 or so, there'll also probably be mods that make it even better.
@Vodoo: I know you don't care, and the fact that you characterize having a game that might choose LGBTQ characters as their main protagonist or as a couple of the random relationships you run into or that get mentioned a "wrong" says everything.
Nobody is "excluding" or "excluded" in Star Wars Outlaws and not everyone in the game is gay. You're ridiculous.
And the idea that Ubisoft is "going under" because of its choice to be inclusive is bonkers nonsense. They've been making somewhat mediocre games for a while (and I've consistently pointed out that their model of iterating instead of innovating was poor...they've been milking the same cow to the point of turning it inside out), but they've have also had some successes. Gameplay will always sell the game over any of your culture war replacement whining. It drowns it out like nobody's business, which is why it's already lost.
@Spartan_418: "It fits their pattern" is not an explanation or supporting argument for "there's no good reason". Those two things are entirely disconnected. You have ZERO support for your assumption that there were no good reasons. It's an absurdist accusation.
You don't even have to reach very far into the realm of practical reality to propose a "good reason." Priorities. They can't and shouldn't do everything at once because that requires spending capital on everything at once, and capital doesn't just include money, but people, the space for them to be working, the equipment for them to do their work etc. If you're not privy to their cost-benefit analyses, investor relations, board votes, etc., and how that translates into business planning...and let's face it, you're not...then you haven't a single tapdancing clue whether there were "good reasons" for literally anything they're doing. And here's another fact: your inability to even conceive of a potential one is why you're not the one they turn to for advice on making their decisions.
