Summary

Ubisoft has had to deal with backlash over a number of its characters this year, including arguments over the appearance of Star Wars Outlaws protagonist Kay Vess.
Star Wars Outlaws creative director Julian Gerighty has now dismissed criticisms as "bad-faith," and that the argument over Kay Vess is "not worth engaging with."
Gerighty is instead focused on trying to "make the best game possible," which is probably the wiser decision given the state of social media these days.

Ubisoft has seen itself at the center of a couple of character-focused controversies in its biggest games this year, those being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Shadows and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Outlaws. While the arguments over Yasuke 𝕴have been a lot more vitrio💯lic, not particularly helped by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ubisoft's slightly tam💧e statements on the matꦇter, Star Wars Outlaws protagonist Kay Ve𓄧ss also got some grief closer to the g🎀ame's reveal because she's a woman that doesn't have a giant chest and isn't built like a dump truck.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Argu🔯ments r﷽aged online about Kay's looks, similar to the arguments we've seen 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:with the likes of Aloy and Joanna Dark from Horizon Forbidden West and the Perfect Dark reboot respectively. Thankfully, Star Wars Outlaws creative director Julian Gerighty is paying no attention to that nonsense, and recently said in an interview that he thinks those particular arguments are from "bad-faith people" and "ar♕en't worth engaging with."

"Kay ꦚis meant to be approachable, a petty thief who ends up barreling through this story, making b🗹ad decisions and centered with a lot of humor, humility and toughness. That’s what’s important to me. And she’s beautiful, come on," says Gerighty. "It makes no sense to me, and it’s not worth engaging with. If you engage with bad-faith people, there’s no nuance and no possibility of real dialogue."

Kay Vess sat in a chair in a spaceship in Star Wars Outlaws.

Gerighty goes on to explain that the only thing Massive Entertainment is focusing on right now is trying to "make the best game possible," which is probably the more sensible decision given the criticisms as of late. Star Wars Outlaws has been under the microscope ever since it was revealed - partly down to the whole Kay Vess thing, while also partly down to Ubisoft's reputation as a whole - but it's had to bat away rather ridiculous criticism as of late, including a call to delay the game over its completely fi🃏ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚne graphics.

You can kind of understand the cautiousness of Star Wars fans this time around, what with Ubisoft's tired formula draining away any semblance of interest in future projects, but Gerighty has also stated that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star🐭 Wars Outlaws isn't just another Ubisoft game. Its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:approach to leveling and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:focus on quality over quality appears to back that claim up, though we'll have to see what the final game is like when it launches oꦺn August 30.
