95% of gamers are against inclusivity in games

A recent discussion on forums has shown that inclusivity in modern games is a controversial topic among players. Survey conducted by user Gamer79, showed that 95% of gamers do not consider inclusivity an important factor when choosing games, preferring to focus on story and gameplay rather than political and social themes.

During the discussion Gamer79 suggested that "games should be about story and gameplay, not about pushing inclusivity." He also noted that focusing too much on this aspect detracts from the gaming experience. Many panelists agreed, arguing that inclusivity often feels unnatural and hurts immersion.

Other participants, however, stressed that character diversity is a normal and natural process for the gaming industry, especially if it does not violate the logic of the game world. One of them noted: "If I don't like something, I just don't play it, instead of demanding that it be banned."

One of the striking examples given by the participants in the discussion was the character Abby of The Last of Us Part II. Many considered it an example of "forced inclusion." Ultimately, most participants came to the conclusion that inclusivity in games should not be an end in itself, and the story and gameplay should always remain in the first place.
