    If it doesn’t, then it’s not really art, it’s it? It’s just a mass-market commercial product.

    Even the Avengers movies, everyone’s favorite garbage media, include social and political commentary.

      It’s already not art and just mass market commercial products.

      Let’s be honest, the companies allowed inclusion of the DEI and social/political commentary because they didn’t think it mattered not becuase they actually care about such issues. Now they think it might affect the bottom line they don’t want their devs doing it anymore. But they were hardly marketing and selling games based on this stuff.

        No. They included this stuff because they thought it would make them more money. Now they think excluding it will make them more money.

        It was always about the bottom line.
