I guess their telemetry shows them that 50 % of the players are LGBTQ, so they better keep us entertained ?.
How would they know? I don't recall answering any surveys what my gender preference is?
If we are talking about data that they are gathering when you play...that seems a bit unreliable when it comes to deciding if someone is LGBTQ or not.
I'm pretty sure that they have good statistics how players build couples and romantic relationships in the game.
I must say this thread makes me a little bit speechless. Put five lesbians and gays in the trailers, release three lgbt flags, improve a couple of black skintones and hairstyles, and - OMG - the game suddenly is only about inclusion instead of bug fixing and gameplay? Straight people are not represented anymore (except for the 586,643 CAS outfits for stereotypical straight American women)?? I really had thought that in 2021 such discussions were a thing of the past.
I think the worry is here that it has been more about visual representation than anything else. I think that Maxis have improved lately there though with the updates that we have seen this year.
