It’s pandering, they’ll do what they did with fifa, force resources on having women teams inserted, lower overall quality, and the diehards will still buy the new shittier product
Even if we assume that is true, do they make up half of sports gamers, let alone this specific franchise? Would any of us be able to find a woman who unwinds to a couple of FIFA matches after a long day? Or seeks to grind another tenth of a second from her best lap time on her favorite track?
It is as though women in executive marketing positions have seen what Bud and Miller Light have done, then stood up and boldly stated "Hold my DIE and ESG scores" in an attempt to do it better.
That’s what I was thinking. I know certain kinds of games are played by mostly males but I would imagine sports games are almost exclusively played by males.
I think either the company would buy a bunch of copies or the shills would work overtime to attack male gamers for not playing it. I’m willing to bet that sports games are played by an overwhelming percentage of males
I for one can't wait to see how a Sony third-person WNBA action adventure with cutscenes every 5 minutes, shitty controls and stealth elements that amount to hiding in long grass turns out. Also, all the characters are lesbian.
We get another PlayStation All Stars game, but the catch is that ape Griner is shoehorned, and he starts to have a fit and wokescold all of the male characters who come in contact with his hitbox, beating the game with Griner turns everyone from Kratos, to Jak, to Parappa, Nathan and everyone else either into a troon or gay. (Sackboy gets thrown out because his name is "too problematic)
So there will be a strictly wnba game. I want them to go ahead and do it. If they are so committed

It’s almost like they know an all female basketball or soccer game won’t sell.
“But females make up half of gamers!”

2% are played by females... https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/
No surprise. So makes perfect sense to gaming companies of course

Are they going to use that Griner ape?
Identifies as female? Check. Is in WNBA? Check. Plays basketball? Check.
By jove, I think we have a likely candidate for inclusion!

This will sell many fives of copies.
Well if Sony already developed a basketball game then I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to do a half-assed reskin for a WNBA game.
