In an interview with Gamasutra, EA’s Patrick Soderlund had a stern message for anyone disagreeing with female soldiers in Battlefield V: accept it, or don’t buy it. Calling these folks “uneducated,” the chief design officer explained that women in World War II is “plausible” and offers a personal anecdote involving his 13-year-old daughter, who suggested that Battlefield should probably have female characters if other shooters (e.g., Fornite) do.
“There are a lot of female people who want to play, and male players who want to play as a badass [woman]. And we don't take any flak. We stand up for the cause, because I think those people who don't understand it, well, you have two choices: either accept it or don't buy the game. I'm fine with either or. It's just not ok.”
