This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Sounds like some were puzzled and then irked that they were being forced to play a gender pronoun guessing game over a robot? That is all I could find on a quick search.

That and something about one of the voice actors taking the company to court for failure to pay him. Par for the course with that company unfortunately considering their past underhanded dealings.

One less game I was going to pay for. Too bad too. I was really looking forward to this game. But I'm going to stand with my principle to not support people jamming politics down my throat.

Banning people for using wrongspeak? Yeah... Gearbox clearly doesn't want my money. No problem.
