Don't agree with problem #2. Sure Soderlund should better have said nothing but I think what he said (with correct context) is mostly right. Buy the game or don't, customers vote with the wallet.

Looking at this sub there might be some people who still play BFV even though they despise the design choice in terms of gender but those people are spamming here every day, asking for basically the removal of woomen (for them) via a toggle switch and whatnot. Might as well not have those people buy the game.

Also the gender thing is such a minor issue if all compared to all other problems. As long as the content is plenty and the gameplay a fluid experience without many bugs, BFV would be fun enough even without 101% authenticity.
