Recently the reviews for Rome II went into net negative on steam, CA made a big deal about it being being because of the changes they made that allowed female leaders to pop up 6 months ago inflaming alt righters and neckbearded gamers. To be fair this is more of the increasingly fashionable scapegoating by devs trying to blame their failures on their customers while also defaming them and frankly lumping in lots of people with perfectly reasonable criticism with literal nazis and misogynists with the express intent of sidlining legitimate criticism. While I am by no means either of those things even I'm growing concerned by the trend I'm seeing if only because it makes it easier for those types to sound legitimate to people that otherwise wouldn't ever listen to them.
