How sensitive is society going to allow people to get before it becomes a problem??
Soon all eating devices will be replaced by sporks so people don't hurt themselves or people will have to wear helmets just to walk outside. Shit, it seems like the people making these decisions are already wearing helmets.

I'm not so fragile that a black screen hurts my feelings.

It's inexcusable!
But here it is, anyway.

What harmful impact?
I can’t even recall any of these supposed racial stereotypes.

It is implicitly saying that if you enjoyed Tomb Raider in the past then you were and likely continue to be a bad person.

Is anyone torn over whether this makes them more or less likely to purchase?

Several remasters from older games have done this. Can't openly offend these modern snowflakes that are offended at every single thing that doesn't acquiesce to them and their feelings....

I do, too, but I sorta want to buy now to demonstrate how little I care about the content that is supposedly offensive.

This is peak hypocrisy. So they are profiting from a game that was developed by other people while shitting on them and their work.
What a bunch of vile morons. Looking forward to the failure of their next project and further studio shutdown.

Blame resetera, kotaku and the like? They (seemingly) get off on complaining about stuff like that...yes, even if it's from damn near 20 years ago.

To be fair, I will gladly take this over actually altering/removing content from the games. It's just a screen of text. So thank you for not changing content.

I will find a way to mod this shit out on the PC release. Those revisionist crybaby cucks ruin everything now.
Crystal Dynamics has added a content warning to Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered flagging what it described as racial and ethnic stereotypes.
Here is the message in full:
Edit - Oh and fuck Crystal Dynamics and thank you Aspyr. Btw, if the next Tomb Raider is a fucking LGBTQIA+ POC/BIPOC/Latinx cluster fuck fest and betrays the Tomb Raider Legacy any further I won't be touching the garbage. Stick to your legacy you ass hats.

And just like that, this title went from “maybe when it goes on sale” to “never $&@#%! ever.”

Throw up a little black screen saying they don't condone certain other idgeeologies. And we'll see who the cry babies really are.
This little black screen applies that there's something wrong with the material. There isn't.

Did you see where someone changed all creatures to robots in the modded RTX Remix version someone is working on? It looks stupid.
The wolves a little after the 3 minute mark are red metallic robot creatures. I don't care if the guy just thinks they look cool, has no talent to update the look of the animals, or if he is a PETA lover, it's plain ridiculous looking.

This is why I don't mind the placard at all. They're warning the safe-spacers to stay away if they don't want their eyeballs bleeding.

So I was a white western teenager who never complained about having a woman as my avatar in an adventure game, rather found the whole thing very cool and the character to be a badass beyond her huge knockers.
Guess what? It wasn’t enough. The games are still offensive somehow, so even if I didn’t feel my masculinity was threatened by Lara, I was a piece of shit for enjoying these games anyway.

I don't see an issue with this. It's a few second long screen that was placed to basically cover their ass in every shape and form. That's really it. Did they NEED to do it? No. But they probably did it just to be safe because crazy people exist everywhere. I don't blame them. Really not a big deal IMO.

There was no need to apologize at all. The easily offended should be taught the lesson they can be very easily ignored.

Or how about neither? How about just leaving the game as it is, or is that too controversial?
Do you want this to be the norm?

It is still a purchase for me even though I hate stuff like this. Someone forced a mandate for this to be put in there not the full team of developers. Some of the developers may agree or disagree with the warning message, but in the end the game is presented in its original form with a new coat of paint I have no issues with the game itself.
Now, if the the new Tomb Raider game with the unified Lara Croft is as cucked up as the original leaks with an emphasis on team work and modern DEI representation I won't be fooled by the pretty graphics and will skip the purchase of that one.

While a warning is stupid to begin with, my main gripe is them asserting outright to the player that it is "deeply harmful" and "inexcusable". That's for the player to decide.
If they regard it as deeply harmful and inexcusable they shouldn't be making money off it. It is neither of course, but I won't support their lack of consistency.
I can accept the still-unnecessary practice of adding disclaimers about standards being different and that certain things "may" cause offense. But I won't give someone my money and then be dictated to that what I'm consuming is harmful while they fill their coffers with that same money.

And then what? There will always be obnoxious, nagging Karens who find fault with just about everything. Every company that includes a disclaimer to appease the Karens is making sure that these awful people will keep on nagging and whining. Just ignore these fucking idiots. That's the only thing that will shut them up eventually.
"The games in this collection contain offensive depictions of people and cultures rooted in racial and ethnic prejudices"
Am I reading it correct that they are suggesting "the original devs were racist"? Imagine one of them booting the remake up and seeing that (then deciding to sue)
If you must have a disclaimer, maybe "The original games in this collection are over 25 years old and contain depictions of people and cultures that some today may find offensive"?
