Vavra literally could have mitigated half of this controversy by simply not or stopping talking. The leaks would have still happened and blown up, but that would eventually fizzle out as people moved on.
But every time he has opened his mouth, it has reignited the flames with entirely fucking new controversies to hate on. Not just keeping the same ones going, but opening entire new fronts on this battlefield.
Its truly baffling how badly he has handling all of this.
The funniest thing to me is how unashamed he is about it. He's like a corrupt establishment politician who says crazy shit and knows they'll be reelected no matter what. He's pissing on your leg while looking you straight in the eyes and telling you it's rain. Vavra's the embodiment of chutzpah.

IMO he knew that the leaks only scratched the surface of wokeness. He panicked hard because he knew it would all come out before release and affect sales.
He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, but cried out like a child when he lost both options.
They don't shut up because the point of all of it is to virtue signal, rub it in and attention seek. If they were at all serious about improving their game or listening to feedback they'd go the no mans sky route of staying quiet and getting to work.
If the game is a success than he can brag about it. He wants the controversy because he is certain the game will sell.
He defied all those "alt-right nazi chuds" and won. Bioware, Ubisoft, Firewalk, Rocksteady all failed to create a successful "woke" game to own the chuds but he did it.
Saddest part is that it does seem like he is winning and the game will be a financial success. Bleah, time to stop giving a shit.
It seems to be a success but only monetarily. No one is really praising the game in any way. The people who are talking about the non-controversial bits all say its a downgrade from the first in nearly every way, though apparently still good enough.
His actions have proven that he isn't fully in it for the money, he wants the accolades and fluffing. And so far the Woke crowd doesn't give a shit about him pandering to them, and everyone else either hates him or is blase to it.
So while right now he is "winning," in like a month's time he will be driving himself mad still fighting on twitter and his game will be forgotten. Double so because he released it early in the year, meaning by the time of Game Awards no one will remember it at all.
I wonder if all the stuff Trump did since he got in to office took away from Vavra's thunder. It is hard to care about turning Henry gay or having a black dude lecture you about how much central/ eastern Europe sucks when woke propaganda is being dismantled.
Although this is US and his main target audience I assume is Europe so who knows.
I think the timing on that worked in his favor. People were too high on winning leading up to the release to care about the leaks, and then about the time for release Trump slowed down (and the Gaza thing sprung up) which took a lot of that train away so people could begin talking about the game a lot (giving it a lot of free marketing).
Also American politics is European politics more than European elections and governments are, they are that obsessed with us, so that wouldn't effect it.

They can't help themselves. Serpents love kvetching more than anything; they live for it.
Like you said, he could have just kept his mouth shut, but no. They have to run their mouth like a bitch.
