Summary

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is said to include a same-sex romance scene.
Some of the more hateful portions of the community are turning against the game, accusing the studio of "lying" to them.
Others are going as far as cancelling their pre-orders and boycotting the game.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is said to be facing a ban in Saudi Arabia over its inclusion of a same-sex romance scene. Due to this, some followers of the gam🍌e have turned on its creators, accusing them of "lying", with others going as far ꦛas cancelling their pre-orders.

This kicked off after Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's writer Daꦆniel Vávra addressed reports of the ban in Saudi Arabia. He didn't go into too much detail on what this scene would ൲include, but did say that it is "purely up to the player what decisions they make".

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Under Attack Over Same-Sex Romance Scene

Despite the game not being out yet, many already take issue with the fact such a scene could exist

"The ⛎game is exactly what I wanted it to be," says Vávra. "No one has tried to influence me as an artist in any way, and anyone who knows me knows I wouldn't let them anyway."

He continues, explaining why 🍎he feels that naysayers will come around. "It is a ROLE PLAYING GAME, so it is purely up to the player what decisions they make and for all the decisions they make, they are responsible for the consequences that correspond to the morals and social norms of the time."

However, this hasn't been enough for some. In the replies, we can see that many are still attacking the writer, accusing him of going "woke" or "selling out". Some of the replies also appear to be trying to make Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 the next 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:target in the online outrage cycle, after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Avowed, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 4 devs had to put up with similar attacks.

As Vávra hints in his statement, he is often on the other side of this campaign. He has a history of being sympathetic to the GamerGamer crowd, going as far back as the mid-2010s. More recently, he was accused of mak🃏ing an "unprofessional" jab at Dragon Age: The Veilguard at a time when many were rooting for its downfall due to its inclusion of LGBT+🥂 characters.
