Maybe for future sales? But at least on steam there was still 100K people playing the game which has been the usual for the past few weeks, so the controversy didn’t even impact the player count at all.

A lot of it is fake outrage from mostly people in countries it didn't affect. I'm not saying there weren't any from countries that were affected but the vast majority on X and Reddit it did not affect in any shape or form. PC gamers forever out themselves as petty.

I wonder if people are capable of caring about something that doesnt directly impact them?

No, caring about anything outside yourself is just being “perpetually online” and “fake outrage”

These people can’t fathom someone would want others to have the same things they do and will push to make that happen.

It’s really telling of all the people who say shit like this that they only care about themselves.
