It's unfortunate that they even have to do so, but the team at Creative Assembly has made an official statement to get ahead of what seems like a non-controversy. The game under the microscope here is Total War: Rome 2 and the topic is how often women spawn in the game.
Total War: Rome 2 was released in 2013, but has received a plethora of updates since launch. Some of those updates include the addition of the family tree feature and the inclusion of women as potential generals in specific factions. The game is being review bombed on Steam because some players claim to have higher rates for women generals in their games.
In response to the claims, a Creative Assembly community content editor stated that, if players weren't ok with how the mechanics were currently set up, they could use mods to remove women or just not play the game. As seen in the statement above, the team is leaving the game as is and won't be patching anything out. Stay tuned to Shacknews for additional updates.
