I fucking hate EA and this completely ensured I will never buy a thing from them again.

I predicted this would happen with EAs new owners, they weren’t exactly the type to encourage a game that celebrates LGBT+ characters

This is the answer. I wish it wasn't true but it is.

eh I think it had something to do with Anthem and non-financially successful games than it has to do with the badly written LGBT+ characters given inquisition had some very prominent LGBT+ representation and that game made financial bank....its the money that matters to them...and Veilguard wasnt that great in revenue.

It's a combination of things. Money is a factor, but Saudi, PIF, owns 93% of EA. They have some really strong laws regarding LGBT+ content. There is a long list of checks that need to be verified if a game is being sold in that region. Example, Sony Plus had Veilguard as their front liner one month. That was removed/replaced so fast in Saudi.

Additional information no one asked for; different countries have different restrictions interms of content on games.
