Lords of the Fallen Devs will swap Type A/B to Male/Female in next patch

The people on the other side mock those who just want Male/Female. Claiming we are either too obsessed or uneducated on the subject and get "triggered" with the Type A/B and Non Binary stuff. Most, if not all of us didn't care until you started setting societal rules that needed to be followed or else you're a "ist", a "phobe" or a "bigot".

People are tired of these new imaginary rules being set and being labeled with erroneous insults or worse. I don't care about the politics, this stuff has just become overly goofy now where differentiating male and female has become some sort of cardinal sin. That's what's concerning and why people are so sick of it.

There are ONLY 2 genders. You don't have to be scared to say that. If you're trans, I still respect you, but it doesn't change the fact.

What is scary is that they accumulated a shocking amount of power and could almost have taken over completely had they not gotten dizzy and overextended too quickly. Had they been a little more cunning, nefarious and patient, we could be in deep doo doo. But they might emerge from the shadows again later, having learned lessons.

Instead they pushed us too hard and fast into an intense political over-correction, that could potentially be so disastrous we over-correct back in the other direction. They could always emerge from the shadows again later, to take advantage of our desperation, having learned lessons. Nazis have done this before.

I'm not comfortable.

Or, you could actually spend 20€/$ to actually get the game which is in a preeettty good shape right now (one of the best looking next gen games on consoles if I may say so myself) 😉

Started it a couple of days ago but got sidetracked by trying to finish Wukong and the art direction and general atmosphere is top notch, got the game for cheap and out of pure curiosity but I got actually surprised by it

Bout time. I pissed my pants at target cause i didn't know which restroom to use.
Bud, there are apparently many of you out there. Look up studies and don’t cut your dick off. It doesn’t help physically removing parts for a mental health issue.

Stay strong brother, sister, or whatever unicorn you are today. Be safe out there!

Aw shit brother, it was 27€ a couple of weeks ago, that's when I got it (PS5).

If you have a disc drive, I've seen it as low as 20€ new...

If you like grimdark stuff I'm sure you'll enjoy this, I can't praise the art-direction enough !

Cheers

I typically avoid commenting on this topic, but "Psychology PhD from Wikipedia University" with this response was too good to pass!

That basically entire culture war in the nutshell.

It’s race who can get offended the most and cry about it on social media and I’m talking about the both side…..they all are same shit to me.
they're not the same though.

Going from M/F to Type A/B was a proactive move. Like people at these companies (and, it was, I believe, Ubisoft, who did it first, or at least it was when I first noticed it, in Division 2) made the decision to get rid of male/female and make it type A/B. Then people at other companies made the decision to follow along to the point where it was basically in every game.

Saying "this is dumb, change it back" is not the same as actually working in these companies and pushing for this change because DEI is at the heart of everything you do.

That's a very smooth way to change the labels without having to apologize, they can just say "the community spoke" and call it a day to whomever complains
 
I had a quick look at that individual dev's twitter and he seems to be doing his best Musk impression. For what it's worth, this is virtue signaling identical to what team woke does.

That being said, I'll wishlist and likely buy his game (on a deep sale) largely because it's refreshing to see this kind of opinion in the public sphere after the last few years (decade even?) of propaganda the other way.

They earned my respect. Hopefully more follow their lead and end with this stupidity of conforming with wackos that don't even play/support games.
 
Seems like a waste for a patch. At least make the boss weapon specials not have arbitrary requirements while you're at it.

They heard the poll and will remove Type A / Type B from the game.

Reading the room, going with the tide ... fact is ...

WE ARE WINNING

Didn't even have to do vote brigading with alt accounts and bots to pretend to be a larger group than reality.

I mean this is clearly like a...reverse virtue signal?
I don't think devs need to bother with culture war shit at all, so make your next game male/female if that is what you want, but don't go back to do a little silly

its not about culture war , since big companies started investing in diversity/inclusion everyone started following the trend/money

now that the big companies started to retreat from this kind of behaviour smaller one have no choice but to follow the trend/money again , but guys like this dude want to be seen as some kind of freedom fighter "look at us , we are part of the change , we are healing the gaming ecosystem " even though at first they went with the wave as soon as they saw the potential to make a buck

you will see many devs like this guy trying to pose as a saviour now that the tides are turning , they just want to be ahead

"Body type" was always stupid anyway.

From a UX point of view, it makes it seems as though this a set of templates that the player can choose from. You'd expect there to be A, B, C, D, E, F ... etc.
