Because god of war is marketed and advertised as a game by and for men. People play the game for Kratos. When you change the iconic main character to some foid that literally nobody cares about or wants to play as, your ignoring the target demographic and fanbase for these games.
Can you name a single person who wanted or asked for this? “Man I sure love playing as kratos but you know who I would really be exited to play as? Kratos’s wife! That would be awesome!”
This is simply not what the fans want, people care about kratos not some random bitch. It’s clear that by doing this, they’re trying to advertise the game to a different market which is why fans feel betrayed because only feminist liberal retards would wanna play this game and not OG god of war fans.
