She aged naturally! Ugh, she was my hot sexy daughter in Witcher 3! Why would they… Have her grow up?! /s

Only thing I’m hesitant about is the actor, but I’m willing to give her a shot. Minor thing.

I doubt CDPR went into this without knowing how incels would react, and knowing they’ll still buy it. After CP2077 with the whole customize genitals issue (that I’m sure most people had forgotten about), I don’t think CDPR cares. They’re Polish, I hope they laugh at our stupid ass “culture war” bullshit

Don’t kid yourself, the culture war bullshit has been exported worldwide, all thanks to the internet. For instance, there used to be self-declared “LGBTQ-ideology-free zones” in Poland until February this year.

Please stop blaming those things on everything except people. I’m Polish. Polish people drink homophobia with their mothers milk. We didn’t need to import it from US or Russia (it’s still better than in the 90s). Average developer is a young male who predominantly votes for outright fascists. The reason CDPR appears progressive is because they calculated it to be more profitable.

About 50% of developers are 25-35. We skew young due to more and more people becoming programmers, that is, for the same reason that cobblers skew old, but not first vote kind of young.

And your source doesn’t even make an attempt to correlate voting behaviour to profession, much less specialised field (programmer vs gamedev), not to mention that not every gamedev is a programmer, all in all not enough data to slander a whole profession. Do better.

The reason gamedevs skews progressive, btw, is because artists do.

But OTOH yes you’re right in Poland’s case it’s not imported culture war BS it’s Catholicism.
