It's silly.
Look... people want to be able to play their stupid videogame and not feel like shit because, guess what, it's the year 2020 and life sucks and it's hard to find things to escape to as is. I get it. So fucking do it. Don't post about the game, don't defend it, don't go out on a limb and tell everyone how you'll donate an equal amount to a charity: just do whatever the hell you want.
But don't expect people in the community to pat you on the back and say "it's okay, you can haz ur wizards!" That's shitty. It's a slap in the face to people who really care about these issues, and if you want to put a flag down in the ground and yell "Here an ally stands!" to everyone else in the community, you're going to have to, y'know, take the *bare-minimum* steps to accomplish that without getting a bit of side-eye.
Trying to fool people here into believing that you're in it for the altruism associated with keeping devs in business in triple-A studios is just plainly offensive. It's completely transparent. You only *think* it will work because Era has a soft spot -- too soft, in my opinion -- for developers. Most of us are way, way too old to be fooled into thinking that that is anything but a quick twist to throw the SJWs off the scent because it's, oh, intersectional. Well, trans people aren't stupid, and they'll been dealing with this stuff for a long time, so you're just not going to be able to fool them, or the people who take their problems seriously.
So don't even try! Go get, like, super excited about it, and go buy it on DAY ONE!!!1111. But do not come into threads dealing with sensitive issues and blame trans people implicitly for selfishness because, oh, DUH, they're not *thinking* about the developers needs. It's an excuse, it's a shitty and *harmful* excuse, and it doesn't even work.
Devs will be just as fine as anyone else is in the year 2020, okay? In fact, they will probably be *more fine* than most people in 2020. (Programmer here, but not a videogame programmer professionally)
