"So despite notable criticism and backlash online regarding the lack of diversity in the game, and square's continuously questionable response to the topic, it seems a lot of people are still planning to purchase FF16"

(...) at the time of writing, over 1200 players have responded to the poll, but just 2.9 per cent – that's around 40 people – are intending to intentionally boycott the release, with 72.8 per cent still committed to buying it despite the issues.

 

[Rex_DX]

Well it worked well for Hogwarts Legacy ...

 

[Unknown?]

Dumbasses!

 

[Fart Knight]

All those diehard eurogamer members

 

[Dr_Salt]

Gamers or reeera?

 

[Godot25]

Since when Reeeeeee represent gamers?

 

[Bartski]

...just realized what those hyperlinks in the article refer to... like what else?

Mods please lock the thread if too much of a bait.

 

[Thief1987]

Gamers or reeera?

There are direct quotes with links to reeeee in this article

 

[Knightime_X]

Really wish they would just let games be games without forced checklists.
If a game uses X, Y or Z because they want to, cool.
But if not, that's fine too!

 

[Mr Moose]

"Gamers", sure.

 

[Gudji]

They should have used activision blizzard tool.

I wish Anglo Americans would stop imposing their cultural norms on other cultures and have more tolerance to different cultures and cultural norms.

Some of these people just can't comprehend that these things are not important in different cultures around the world.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This is getting old real fast.

Yes it would be hilarious if it weren't reality, those touting tolerance while implementing mandates and ideas that are intolerant by definition.

 

[Kamina]

Gamers?
No, the group in question is called Retards.

 

[Kokoloko85]

One more negative article before launch. Has Forbes done one this week?

[Brigandier]

Bunch of activists not gamers. Reeeee is the worst gaming forum ever total cancer.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Well it worked out for Hogwarts Legacy ...

No kidding. I’d be thrilled with this boycott.

 

[Kurotri]

This train really DOES have no brakes. I feel like this "stuff" will never end.

Remember, these people think colonialism is being spread only through brute force.

On the same note, I really love the Pedowood/Netflix approach in all modern art lately.

1. Choose a certain culture (Egyptian/Viking/Slavic etc.)

2. Bastardize it beyond any recognition and fill it with woke nonsense.

3. Cry about everyone being bigoted when the actual natives and heirs of the same culture call you out on your bullshit.

 

[Aenima]

No gamer is calling for boycotts, just low life activists with too much free time seeking they next thing to get triggered by.

 

[mortal]

"Despite" lol okay. As if this was ever an issue to begin with.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

When will the purple haired dipshits learn that they are the minority?

 

[Fuz]

 

[Oberstein]

Get rekt, Resetera.

As always.

 

[Saber]

Its kinda offensive to refer these type of individuals as gamers.

But on other news, I would like to see something similar to Hogwarts Legacy to happen. A massive backfire is aways enjoyable to watch.

 

[Fuz]

When will the purple haired dipshits learn that they are the minority?

When will the industry learn that they are the minority?

 

[X-Wing]

You have got to love the hypocrisy of the Era folk. Cheering for the Microsoft/Activision acquisition - hence cheering for a company that has donated millions of dolars to the GOP allowing it to actually have a negative impact on people's lives - and at the same time boycotting videogames that would otherwise be harmless to anyone else but their own sensibilities.

 

[Fuz]

Funny how the title makes you think that the boycott is actually happen.

 

[RainblowDash]

Reject narcissism, celebrate creativity.

 

[BrutalTruth_]

One of the most hyped games of the year, are they really that stupid thinking people would boycott..

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

"hello, fellow gamers"

 

[93xfan]

So there aren’t enough self important assholes in FF16?

Does the game not have any villains?

 

[cormack12]

They deleted the poll? Lmao.

They can't support gendered actions. Boycotts need new inclusive language. May I suggest pussyscreams or spectrumshouts.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

The real clown is Eurogamer for giving this behavior undue attention

 

[F0rneus]

Well I for one, truly will not be buying it.

No PS5 lol.

 

[TexMex]

Didn’t they try to go down this road and fail a long time ago?

 

[Danjin44]

Well I for one, truly will not be buying it.

No PS5 lol.

 

[winjer]

I hate journalists that can't understand that not every game has to be a piece of social activism.

 

[Kacho]

No one would know this exists without Eurogamer signal boosting it. In reality it’s a tiny, insignificant group of idiots.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Just free advertisement at this point.

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

I just had to go look, that other site really is a cesspool.

Remember, Eurogamer were among the woke mob who tried to cancel Kingdom Come: Deliverance simply because the Czech development team refused to rewrite their own history in order to appease to the modern western sensibilities:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance review - history is a double-edged sword

Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the history it explores are inseparable. There hasn't been a medieval world this real and…

www.eurogamer.net

Fun fact, the game director hired a whole team of historians to make the setting as accurate as possible.

 

[Spukc]

Cloud was trans

 

[Warnen]

They should stick to boycotting bad games so at least they can feel like it did something for once.

 

[Danjin44]

Are they gonna boycott Persona 3 Reload because shocking news most of the characters gonna be Japanese?

 

[hemo memo]

This is a japanese dev. The focus is creating a good game not meet the western bullshit diversity quota. This isn’t fucking Netflix Wokeflix.
