In a recent interview with Gamasutra, EA Chief Creative Officer Patrick Soderlund has come out strong in response to those who are upset at the presence of female playable characters in Battlefield V.
"The common perception is that there were not women in World War II. There were a ton of women who both fought in World War II and partook in the war." Soderlund said.
Continuing, Soderlund stated, "These are people who are uneducated—they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario, and listen: this is a game. And we don't take any flak. We stand up for the cause. [Y]ou have two choices: either accept it or don't buy the game. I'm fine with either or. It's just not ok."
