Line 86:
* Fearing potential criticism and supposed backlash (particularly over allegations of sexism and misogyny), developer Koei Tecmo stated that [http://nichegamer.com/2015/11/no-plans-to-bring-dead-or-alive-xtreme-3-west-developer-koei-tecmo-fears-backlash/ it has no plans] to bring ''[[Dead or Alive]] Xtreme 3'' to Western markets.
* Following outcries from "concerned" protest over perceived harm on women, ''[[Grand Theft Auto]] V'' was pulled out of Australian Target stores in 2015, followed by similar instances in New Zealand. What further added salt to the wound was how the games press at large ''defended'' such moves.
* An attempt by social justice warriors was made in 2015 to spark mass outrage over ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]'' and its upcoming sequel ''[[Deus Ex: Mankind Divided]]'', particularly over the existence of "mechanical apartheid" being a major theme in those games. Although it ultimately failed, not only were the Eidos Montreal developers responsible for coining the term lambasted in said attempt, but their views were deemed by some commentators as being invalid supposedly [http://i.imgur.com/YwAYzj0.png because of the French experience with imperialism]. [[Hypocrite|Never mind that the developers in question are Black and Asian respectively]].
* Similar attempts at "outrage" were levied against the game-in-progress ''[[Kingdom Come: Deliverance]]'', which is set in 15th Century Bohemia, over alleged racism and sexism, including the lack of diverse "people of color." [[Word of God|Lead developer Daniel Vavra]] defied this trope however, by showing how the game in question's meant to be as historically authentic as possible - warts and all - and pointing out how even the modern Czech Republic, which comprises Bohemia, is culturally and ethnically homogeneous.
