A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

talking points like, "why don't women look feminine aymore," "why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story," "Concord sucks lol."

They're fair observations. Convergent, homogenous graphic design plagues big-budget game production.

Ubi is the sort of mob that could put out a title set in Georgian England and offer a cast that includes among others a queer green-haired ship's captain, a Chinese bailiff and a Rastafarian archbishop. There's a place for getting whimsical with character creation, but done often enough (and across so many genres), it becomes self-satirizing.
