EA did some research and it turns out only 7% are actively discouraged from playing inclusive games.
>The good news is that our research shows over half of players report seeing more diverse audiences represented in video games within the past two years. In their own words (before inclusion was defined), they mention features such as: >* More options in character customization to help people feel unique, such as adding quirks and physical nuances to characters’ teeth or being able to create characters who look biracial >* Ability to create and play characters with LGBT identities >* Diverse storytelling, especially with multicultural sets of characters >* More females as main characters or in pivotal roles
>Players from underrepresented ethnic groups emphasize the need for authenticity in cultural representation. As one Latino player puts it, he doesn’t want “developers to have to include my culture in just as a check mark on their clipboard.” Many of these players are jaded from seeing characters from their background being stereotyped. Instead, they say they want unconventional storytelling from different point of views.
>Fixing disruptive behavior and toxicity is more important than ever
Also, remember that when the Resetera did a few polls recently, they proved that even their userbase gives no fuck's about "transphobia" or "problematic" content.

When, where and who did this survey, also when will people learn survey's are hardly reliable and easily skewed or are we pretending the 92% for her turn didn't happen?

Surprise surprise, extremists on both sides are a loud minority. It's not like Yea Forums always loved Demo from TF2, right?

no shit, this is the same result as that tribes study, only this is late and old data now. I bet the writer of this article sniffs his own farts

Probably not. Thing is, it's way easier to just slap some low effort pandering in and get rewarded on Twitter for it because the people that care about that shit, small though they are, are exceptionally loud. And, of course, if you have to choose between doing some low-effort pandering or not having any sort of representation, they're going to choose the pandering because not having any representation at all will get those exceptionally loud people shrieking.
Similar thing here. You've got some people that scour the most innocuous comment looking for some way to interpret it as oppressing them. There's a pretty marked difference between "I wish I had a button that would kill every tranny faggot" and "It's transphobic to say your cat is a boy just because he/she/they have a penis." and the people that go on social media crusades because of the latter are seen as more than a little ridiculous by even the people they're supposedly defending.
