I just don't get why customization is regressing. The quality isn't increasing with the limitations so it only hurts minorities. Most games with customization don't allow free selection of skin, eye and hair colors. The brown and black options are always heavily lacking. I hate it so much.
That does suck. As someone who isn't impacted by this I even thought it was getting better but I guess what I was seeing was just superficial choices like the Body A/B stuff I was talking about earlier. I am privileged enough to be only ever impacted by wanting the beards to have a different color than the hair. Which is actually a thing in a lot of games nowadays. I can hardly imagine how it must feel for everyone else to want to play as someone they can at least identify with, when the options are so heavily skewed towards a certain demographic.
