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 have the game installed, haven't opened it yet. I think I'm just going to uninstall it. Back to bouncing around Game Pass idly, waiting for something to come out. Someone talk me out of forgiving Epic.
What happened with MK11? Pride flags? Women's day? BLM banners?
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.
