They can see the situation is spiraling out of control badly, the Vavra's statements only made it worse, and that they are genuinely in a place of losing a considerable amount of sales through their choices.
This is just a pathetic attempt to throw a bone to try and save some face, but anything short of a post saying "we heard you, the negro is gone, you were right" won't assuage the people that made up a huge chunk of their game's fans.
There is 0 chance they will drastically change the main game 2 weeks before launch.
I think they just now realized how badly they fucked up.
They are probably using spy pixels in the UI to identify who is leaking. If that is the case you can simply change the hue of the image and save it a couple of times as jpeg.
Works great for videos, not so much screenshots.
It's going to be tricky going forward for any game to contain queer content in even an offhand or joking fashion if the DIE cancer is truly too deep to prevent recurrence that most industries need all new employees that aren't pozzed.
Musa is probably an important character and him being black is important for the character so just changing him to an arab will not be possible. They need to change to much.
For the gay part, is probably just a flag to change and is gone but there is also a 30 second gay scene that you can skip.
Blizzard was caught doing that over a decade ago.
About 1/3 of the overwatch cast is some kinda gay.
That's not enough for anyone like me. I don't want them to censor their work, they just did bad, compromised work. In any case, Henry being a faggot now is just as bad. The damage is done, the cat is out of the bag and my sale is lost regardless. Until KCD3 and some kind of reassurance of an ideological switch, they're honestly better off chasing the Modern Audience by giving Henry some Saints Row 3 style sliders than looking for my sale back.
Nah, remove the black man. Fuck it. This was never an artistic decision.
I don't really care what prompted it. All I know is I don't trust the creators to have limited the propaganda to just one smug negro so I don't care about any performative reverts they might make (which they won't do anyway, lets face it). Let their compromised work stand on its meagre merits, propaganda inserts on full display for posterity, and benefit from no bullied improvements.
