This is a surprisingly clear statement from EA, damn.
Good on you, now I can feel good buying the game

Good effing lord. I can't figure out if these people are more sad or deranged. So much anger... about a video game. No wonder I avoid reddit.
Good on Dice and EA
Hopefully weeding out those types of dumbasses will make online more tolerable too

Lmao
It's like a crossover event between r/battlefield and r/incels.
I rather like it, and think it's along the lines of "Even if you weren't one hundred percent wrong (which you are) you still wouldn't have a leg to stand on".
Yeah, it is really stupid.
And some of the YouTube comments are so sickening.
Not that I'm against representation ,but they sure chose a game to push women in gaming. I feel there were better more creative options that wouldn't have this kind of backlash in the first place but whatever I guess. I feel EA are using trolls to deflect all criticism of them trying be be more like COD and Fortnite. But that's a nuanced argument that you can't just say fuck bigots to.
There are actually men out there that believe women have never contributed to pitched battles before. ROFL.
It's astonishing how easy it is for these companies to look good when they're dealing with the type of swine that will literally say they don't want to play a game because there's women in it.
Bethesda goes "Fuck the nazis!", and that's an actual stance you take, and not just the obvious natural state of existence to everyone, everywhere.
Fuck these hateful pieces of sentient garbage to oblivion.

Only answer possible at this point.
Plus they can afford to take that stance, the few that will actually not buy the game because of it won't matter much.
What they may have to watch closer is the behaviour of players online, some could buy the game just to ruin the fun for every person playing a female character.

Yes. Much like their inclusion of the Women's national teams in FIFA. Or the WNBA. Urgh. I so want to support those efforts.
I think its because battlefield historically really pushed itself to be the 'authentic' experience. I listened to their messaging during the unveiling and they didnt once say the word 'authentic'. Which was good. Some gamers need to realise that these games dont deliver an authentic experience because basically the game wouldnt be fun. They will have to look elsewhere for their kicks.
I think they are dodging the real majority complaint that people have while hiding behind these statements.
The majority of complaints are not regarding women, but the customization options in the game.

So they are forcing diversity in order to avoid having to answer for their missteps? Interesting take.
I'm laughing already, just thinking about
what
How are they like COD and Fortnite
Especially since Battlefield now seems more tactical than before
Ha! I love this response, and I don't even play Battlefield. Good on EA.

This is one of the saddest things I've seen in gaming, I'm embarrassed actually. I really hope they don't buy the game, I don't want to play with idiots like that. I hope these aren't grown men crying, would make it so much more pathetic.
EA, like any other company cares about money. I would like to see their reaction in that situation.
Man, let me tell you about some of the salt I've seen about the bad guys you fight in Wolfenstein.
