According to a Dow Jones report citing a statement by financial services firm Cowen, Battlefield V pre-order sales have been “weak,” indicating waning interest in the popular shooter franchise. In what may or may not be a coincidence, DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund stepped down this week. This was the same executive who told gamers dissatisfied with EA's creative direction not to buy the game back in June.
These are people who are uneducated—they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario, and listen: this is a game. And today gaming is gender-diverse, like it hasn't been before. 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.
