Every player and commentator loved Velma calling the cops. Running from that cop car was hilarious and universally enjoyed. The people who didn't like it were not players in any serious sense, they were the viewers of the game's promotional vids on twitter and youtube. For THOSE assholes, they have done this. They also cater to this audience in their official discord, so of course it's all seal-clapping in the only places they listen.
Easy uninstall. I don't need to wait for a more 'egregious' bit of censorship. The table is already set, and I don't need to be here for it.
Biggest upside, I actually didn't spend money on a WB game that fucked me after the fact with patched-in woke stupidity this time. MK11 still burns my chaps.
I will say, some of the feedback they made the decision on was coming from top-tier players. The fighting game community has a lot of black people, and a fair number of them got indoctrinated with the BLM bullshit.
So, in this case, the feedback was actually coming from some prominent players. Still stupid, though.
I think that's an issue that transcends the FGC and becomes a general audience request. Most people just don't know that's the issue and instead just quit because "online sucks."
Sheeva and Sindel retcons / redesigns as DLC that were aggressively bad (Sindel), combative (both), and man-hating (Sheeva). Both written and marketed (don't know why they thought it was a good idea to put him up front in the PR) by a wackado new hire whose name I've since forgotten.
They were so sensitive about any criticism of these points they banned a player from an official tournament for naming his Sheeva variation "Why Did NRS do This?" Bunch of weak wristed anti-fun current year punks who baited me into buying a game then slipping that in after launch.
So now, I haven't spent any money on Multiversus, and I think God for that. Because I don't have to feel remorse now as I pull out and say goodbye to it.
I don't rule out that there was that stuff, but I'm mainly referring to Sheeva and Sindel's treatment when they were added to the roster after I had bought the game. Their stories, characterization, and appearances were retconned into stupidity for modern-day political reasons. Two of my favorite characters are now, in the case of Sheeva, ugly and mannish as fuck, vociferously misandrist, and de-sexed. In the case of Sindel, de-sexed, uglified, and her redemption arc retconned as "she was evil the whole time" for a very stupid reasoning involving giving her total agency as a woman. "I was never duped into doing bad things, I was actually evil and you liking me when I came clean was the actual lie."
It especially sucked that Sheeva had an actual fun kit, but I was told in no uncertain terms in every round start and round end quote that she wasn't for me and she hated me and I should die.
Both were casualties of hiring a man-pretending-to-be-woman as a writer late into development. Fuck all of that noise.
Robocop and Rambo can't save a game that has already told me that it hates me. My fun is already killed.

No game is ever improved by listening to the FGC. Ever, about anything.
I would agree with you but Dragonball FighterZ is going to receive rollback netcode and that only happened because of the FGC.
FGC sucks on many things but devs need to listen to them on one thing.
Have rollback netcode.

How wildly appropriate that the only games blacks are good at are fighters and shooters.
This seems to be so common. The ones who whine are not even fans of the game/book/movie/show.
Oy vey ... stop noticing.
I know. Just hard not to since these people get placed in charge of IPs
I really enjoyed playing the game and think this was beyond stupid to change.
I already spent 40 bucks on it for the Founder's Edition and enjoy playing as Tom and Jerry so I won't go as far as uninstalling it.
I just won't be giving them any more money ever again.
Replacing the policecar with the Mystery Machine leads to some hilarious assumptions you can make about the devs.
The devs think that it is ok to perform a citizen's arrest on Lebron using the new Mystery Machine over the policecar arresting him.
Supporting vigilante justice over the police? Nice "woke" ideas of criminal justice they got there.
? What happened with MK11?

Look at MK9 then compare it to 11. Not just covering the female fighters head to toe in 11 they made all of their faces ugly
