replyNone of those examples are political. They might be things you don't like, which is fine, but that doesn't make them politics. What makes the attractiveness of a 3D game character "politics"? What makes a useless gay side quest politics, but a similar useless straight side quest not-politics?

replyOf course, it's not like you couldn't have done a google search yourself, if you really cared.
The top Reddit comment there pretty much sums this whole discussion up. I can't believe I dragged myself into this. It's just Gamergate again and again. I should have known.

replyNot even their studio, his example is from Sony.
replyWhat do editorial decisions in some specific game have to do with the news item?
replyIt's not even a game by a Microsoft studio, but a Sony one.
