    I think my internet brain is starting to heal. I say that because the comments keep mentioning how the trailer is full of liberal soy blue hair forced diversity SJW stuff, except I just see an ad begging for corporate investment. I genuinely don't see what these comments are talking about. For God's sake, the devs refer to the game as a "product" a few times.

    Am I out of touch or have g*mers somehow devolved further into madness? Do they hate it when a game has a black woman in it?

    Also, this trailer makes the game look incredibly by-committee. I mean it's Saint's Row, so of course it's a shallow cash grab coasting off other games, but they could at least try to hide that's what it is.

      The thing they're picking up on is that it's pretty generic corporate fair, like you said, design by committee/focus group. It's base-standard diversity and attempts at pandering to a hip player base demo they want to capture over the old player base. But the online gamer dorks have no way to talk about it other than muh sjws erasing proud white man games like Saint's Row. You know, the famously whites-only hardcore gamer franchise that they all definitely haven't cared about since the second one. Their criticism is consumed by idealism and stupidpol brainrot.
