ehhhhhhhhh I would have to disagree. Gamer bros generally get upset when *their* games are aimed away from them as the intended audience.
Like if I found one of those dating simulators and decided to make it a Doom-like FPS with excessive gore and violence. The original fan base? Would be upset.
Except that’s not the typical gamer bro complaint that I’m referring to lmao. Most gamer bros throw tantrums about a game going “woke” when it’s just an optional LGBT romance route and female characters don’t look like porn stars and instead look like real people.
I wasn't upset by Last of Us or Horizon character models. I love world building accuracy the characters in the story need to be a product of their environment. No "porn star" qualities should exist in games where physical endurance for example would be a core aspect of the player character.
Who TF would even wear makeup or have a perfect figure in a post apocalyptic world? no one. They would be scarred, lean, muscular or physically conditioned. They would be dirty and have unwashed clothing or it would be torn and scuffed to reflect the harsh conditions they are subjected to.
Then I’m not referring to you. There’s a difference between valid criticism and “woke mind virus complaints”. But from my experience, most gamer bros are making complaints about female characters not being sexy enough or minorities existing. #notallgamerbros
I'm in the middle, there are games where "the gamer bro" is the intended audience.
And I wonder why those games are being drastically shifted and then the studio gets shut down cause the game tanks and everyone loses. Why can't many demographics populate the same space?

In DA:V I am forced to be this counselor to my identity crisis having party.
I am usually a good guy/girl in my games then I explore being evil, I literally can't in Veilguard. Naturally I am upset by this change in direction.
