Undoubtedly it was.You need to understand that characters he asked about since the announcement of this game aren't being considered for the base game. The roster for this game was likely decided in the middle of last year.
But Damien is in the game, and was asked about on Twitter. Just because he asked about them on twitter doesn't mean those characters weren't already decided on. (Obviously they were and the polls are illusions of choice - it's called marketing)
