Bold claim. Any real life data to back that up?

I also fail to see how "celebrate diversity" is a "sjw leftist politics" agenda. Diversity is a fact of life. Just because you don't like it doesn't change that fact.
See, in the end it is really easy.
Imho the overwhelming majority of players don't care about what you call "world politics jammed in".
I want a good story with good characters. I don't care if a character is transgender or homosexual, and I don't see the presence of all sexual orientations, or the existence of transgender characters, (transgender people have the same right to be recognized in video games as any other social group) as a "sjw leftist politics" coup. (And I guess that is true for most of all players)
If you are playing Bioware games diversity will be there, as it always was.
And that's a good thing because it reflects real life, as it should be.

I replied with a long and well thought out statement but it didn't post. TL:DR version just look at fan reactions and negative reviews because of the politics.

We all want a good story with interesting characters. Most people I see want da to go back to it's dark fantasy roots. Yes transgender have the right to be in a game, however why just throw it in just to have it in verse making it matter to the story?
Sexuality is not diversity to me.
diversity is a fact of life but not a focus of life. CHanging that for a game is not a good look for the company.

This is anecdotal at best.
People who don't like something are always more inclined to speak out about it as people who like something or people who simply don't care.
Only because you see a few hundred post on the internet doesn't mean that there is a large enough group of people to really influence the sales of DA4 in the future.
Especially because there are plenty of people in this debate that don't care for this game, or games in general at all, but only want to fight some "cultural war", want to make some money on YouTube, or want to bring there own political agenda forward.
My point remains.
And if you don't want "politics jammed in" you should not try to do exactly that.

Not arguing this anymore. We will see what happens when the game comes out and if those politics are interjected as I mentioned who is right about this.
We are just running the gambit of circular arguments.I'm only interested in what Ataashi presented to me and he or she will be the only person I respond to if they are not adding to that portion of the conversation.
