So?
This is not a DQ game, and honestly, nobody gives a crap what he says, when the game would have little to no content from him.
Bigoted people will always have a platform, regardless of your efforts. It's not Smash that will make or break for him. If people really cared for what he said, he would be dipping hard in stuff where he actually gets the biggest ammount of revenue. Like, the concerts he usually does for NHK and the CDs he sells.
And on a separate topic, not regarding Smash directly, but this idea of deplatforming who you disagree with is one of the worst ideas to solve the problem you claim to exist. I know it's hard for politcally correct advocates to understand this, but once you silence the opposition, no matter how right or wrong they are, they will be an underdog and will abuse the toxic oppressor-oppressed narrative that the identity politics people created. They get more support in the end. This PC crowd should have more trust in society's desires and capability of singling out what they don't want.
And finally, I think that the old saying of "Art outlives and is larger than its artist" is something to live by. I don't think people should close their ears and be bothered by the presence of his music, if what you are here for is the art, not the artist. That's my two cents, anyway. If I lived by these rules, I wouldn't have gone or would go watch a Hollywood movie for decades
I understand where you're coming from, but the G&W stunt was a success for the journalists because of the item in question being an in-game asset.
Complaining because one guy out of likely more than a thousand people involved in the project said something bad wouldn't hurt the game in any way outside of the PC circle that, imho, would buy the game later down the line anyway.
