So in some videogame related news, Atlus just announced and posted a trailer for a remake of Persona 3. Pretty normal gaming news right? Yet the response I've seen on reddit and elsewhere has literally been batshit crazy.
They announced that it was gonna be a straight up remake and not include any of the portable content (Which added a female main character route). This has people I guess losing their fucking minds calling it misogynistic and "heteronormative" or other crap about how they're gonna boycott Atlus and not buy the game and yada yada yada.
Like who cares? It's a remake, they can make it however they want. Not to mention the female mc they're creaming over was only in the portable remake and never mentioned in any of the official works. Yet these people are foaming at the mouth over it? Have videogamers always been this crazy, like is a portable spinoff character from 14 years ago worth to sperg over? I just don't understand it and wonder if I'm alone in it.
In their defense, Persona 3 and 4 were PS2 games where DLC wasn’t really an option. I was naive (stupid) enough to buy Persona 4, figuring the inevitable additions would be a DLC. But nope, they pulled that bullshit move of “there’s so much new material it was impossible to integrate it with DLC.”
Fucking pricks.
Plus, they could look over to Capcom and see that Monster Hunter was doing it at three times the speed they were and making bank off it.
Because most of the worst Jap business decisions can always be traced back to Capcom and then people copying them.
