I don't agree that a trans character, or any character, needs to be voiced, acted, mo-capped, written or whatever by someone of the same persuasion. Bart Simpson is one the most iconic boy characters of all time and we all know he was voiced a by a woman. I really don't think it matters what happens behind the curtain with the development process of our entertainment, as long as the end result is a character portrayed well, and how they were supposed to be.
I also feel that if you don't like the way art is made, then go make it yourself. You may be disappointed if you rely on others to satiate your own wants. Plus, it sounds a bit entitled to grizzle about this kind of stuff. Games are art, and the artistic creators who make this stuff should be allowed to do it however they like, not the way someone else wants them to.
I'm not surprised that they want nothing to do with gamer panels, as they have witnessed enough of the gamer community eating it's own feces covered face over the last year or 2. They have no reason to get involved in the pointless shit storm of gamer tantrums and I actually applaud them for avoiding this sideshow. They can now dedicate their time to more productive endeavors. If your a gamer and your upset about this then maybe you should wipe away your tears and actually, like for real, go play an actual real video game, instead of whining all the time about them.
