If a company knows people are being irrational then they should not bend to the will of irrational people. EA should not have made those comments, they shouldn't have said anything to be honest.
But they also shouldn't force five to change their creative vision over people acting like bigots.
If you think games companies should just cater to white men then this conversation isnt going anywhere, agree to disagree.
If your customer base is irrational, you cater to them because you don't exist without them. AGain this shyt isn't hard to understand, entertainment doesn't exist without a customer base to entertain, even in their delusion.
Yes you change your product if you need it to sell, your business is selling product, not "proving" shyt.
I told you what I think, it isn't hard to understand exactly what I think because I've written it clearly. You cater to your customers because your customers are the only reason you exist as a company. You do not flush millions of dollars down the drain by antagonizing your customer base, if you do that you deserve to be fired by the upper management and if it was authorized by upper management the board should replace the CEO.
Its a business, not a charity/
This type of thinking is exactly why this country is in shambles.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. Catering to your customers is the last thing that has this nation in shambles.
People being bigots, having no respect for their neighbors, and the race to co-opt government to force their beliefs on others seems to be a bigger deal,imo.
