So, in an interview EA chief creative officer, Patrick Soderlund countered to people objecting to Battlefield V depicting women by saying "We stand up for the cause, because I think these people who don't understand it, well, youhave two choices: either accept it or don't buy the game. I'm fine with either or. It's just not ok."

I'm curious if EA is shooting themselves in the foot by some of the statements given in this interview. To me, this almost seems like the backlash that Hollywood has been doing lately with Ghostbusters 2016, and SW: The Last Jedi. The statement of 'accept it or don't buy the game' to me, seems like it's asking for trouble.
I'll admit, I wasn't interested in buying this game from the start. I became less interested when I found out you could repair a horse with a wrench (my brain still hurts from that one) as stated by this: https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/2...t-buy-the-game
What do you all think? Is this going to hurt sales of the game?
