@Saitama117 I mean I get what you’re saying, and don’t see what the big deal is seeing as you had no issue with anything but how it was written in. Many groups of marginalised people go through hell and back, and it is insulting when developers, writers, or even tv shows put say a gay or trans person in it just for the sake of doing so.
As you say, they’re a “token” character. If they had a well written back story with that that marginalised group’s experience in mind that’s one thing, but if it’s not fleshed out and only surface level deep, then it’s just a slap in the face and done to give themselves a pay on the back. Saying it’s a “fantasy game” or anything else doesn’t excuse badly written characters in my book, so I agree with you.
@LilianaQuinn83 They did not too long ago, and after I downloaded it gave an error about licensing and wouldn’t start. Maybe it was released on the store too early? Because it’s not there now.
@NoCode23 We usually avoid updates until later, but unfortunately 9.0 said to update if we wanted to play online. Other than HDD issues in the past I luckily never had anything software related up until now.
The last time was with the PS3 and that really messed my console up, so I’m usually on the more cautious side unless it’s mandatory.
My PS4 seems to be okay as of now, but my boyfriend’s has an annoying problem though. It constantly says he needs to verify his licenses ever since updating and will kick him out every 15 minutes, but no matter what we try it’s the same annoying problem so he can’t play anything.

@sanderson72 Aye he did all that and it’s the same issue no matter the account used, yet on mine everything is fine, it’s so bizarre.
