Over-all its all sounds like a conspiracy, but my main point is - they are intentionally adding this unit into the game, to later on allow themself add more of them later on to be soled as DLC. We are joking about Mouse, but imagine how many people would buy it if it comes as DLC. Time will show offcourse, but I strongly believe, that nothing good will come from this.
Nothing surprises me anymore. Below is some good info on why Relic/Sega management can't be trusted partly because of ESG investments/scores.
Just follow the money and you'll know the truth 9 out of 10 times.
To a denier, nothing will ever satisfy them other than experiencing 'truth' for themselves.
People can ignore reality but most people cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
The concentration of wealth (WEF billionaires club and tax avoidance through foundations), the megacorporations that control other's people's money (stakeholder capitalism such as Blackrock/Vanguard) and those who make fiat money (fractional reserve banking) absolutely rule entire countries.
With woke ESG scores/investments, western capitalism has gone completely off the rails.
Bad news sucks, I get it.
Just be informed that with all these pro-ESG companies (including Relic/SEGA), fans can be 100% certain that executive leadership + Sega Sammy board of directors are either naive or corrupt.
Take your pick.

To understand why Relic is doing this you need to look at who owns the company. The old adage "follow the money" is highly relevant here.
Relic is owned by Sega, which in turn is owned by Vanguard - one of the two most powerful and rich megacorporations on this planet.
Both Vanguard and Blackrock (the second richest megacorp, owned partially by Vanguard) are institutional investors and systematically push all corporations they own to embrace certain modern social constructs.
Example: Blackrock's "DEI"-policy: https://www.blackrock.com/corporate/about-us/diversity-equity-and-inclusion
The more "diversity" a company has in its structure and in relation to the product they're selling the more investment money will be available for that company as its "ESG" rating will increase. ESG is basically an "investment reliability score" that the afromentioned megacorps are standardizing, and as your ESG-score increases more investors flock to you and you get access to more attractive loans.
And any board of directors of a company that are against these "social contructs" will also find themselves replaced by the holder(s) as soon as possible.
As it stands, Sega leadership and board of directors take pride in ESG scores/investments and vow to expand on this as a long-term vision ending March 2030 as the target year;

Is ESG investing just a scam?

You can already tell ESG investing is a joke when even oil companies and tobacco companies are claimed to be ESG companies. Altria is one of the examples, it is so ironic and disgusting that one of the biggest tobacco companies that also sell wine, weed, and Juul claims themselves to be an ESG company when all they sell is nothing but harm to the society and environment, how does it even meet the environmental standards.

Almost everything that Tariq Fancy says about environmental, social and corporate governance, or ESG, investing has been said before, in one form or another. The significance of what he writes — most recently in a long essay on Medium — is how he says it and who he is. He was the chief investment officer for sustainable investing at BlackRock, which is the most important institutional face of the claim that ESG investing has an important role to play in helping the environment, promoting the social good, holding the corporate world accountable, and so on.
Fancy thinks the ESG project is intellectually bankrupt and is damaging to the most important causes it purports to support.
