Why not just hire somone who is diverse? Why give another company a lengthly costly contract, or better yet don't layoff people who have unique opinions. Also SBI's founders opinion are not interesting. Not having open-world games is a opinion shared by many, having african-american pairings in mass effect in a game vs a character selector in a story driven game is not interesting, and likely not orginal.
That's basically what I am advocating for, and what implied about most of the Japanese developers. Or why I prefer indie and AA. Most of them hired people that are diverse (or already diverse within their own development team and have the background and cultural knowledge for their game) and are either contract, solo, or part of a smaller group. It doesn't have to be from a company, but I don't discriminate when the goal is proper representation or people of color as people. The same for any other groups and minorities.
What has Sweet Baby Inc actually taken away from it? From everything I can see it seems like Sweet Baby is just a right wing bug bear for their moronic culture warriors.
Their financial/market moats are temporary, and what happened with Chinese gachas will happen with their AA and AAA games. Eventually their declining population, traditionalism, and dislike of change will be their undoing, and it will be the same with Chinese Gachas, and their AAA and AA sector if they follow Japan's path. I think Poland, and SK/South Korea will be able to avoid these by focusing on innovation so long as their salaries are too crazy. It's easy to create black desert online character creator you just need to make faces more conventionally attractive via symmetry, and smooth polygons. The issue is American finalization, rent-seeking, and middlemen. GTA6 for example will beat every game on the market, and have a conventionally attractive female character which will be like a nuke on Asian game companies.
When one minus the fact they are a lightning rod for a game to be controversial culture war fights that detract from increasing the amount of people enjoying the art, aren't liberal; and tranparent with their dealings and act more like dark money group which opens the way for Gamergate folk to mirror them, worse take way from investments inside of a company like hiring more staff, and even push against liberalism in general. Their writng, and consultation doesn't add anything interesting and orginal. When was the last time they stated something orginal other than we need more BIPOC, people in color, woman, and LGBTQ characters in a game of which these opinions already exist in-house.
Considering how well AA is doing, I doubt that. No place is perfect, but that is why I don't bother with majority of AAA nor gacha games in general I don't need gachas at all, and most AAA are already compromised to begin with. You're really saying nothing new in that regard. You worry about whatever else goes on in your world. I got better concerns right now.
It's summer semester, and I already am done with all course-work this week, and what I am saying is not new, and is considered weird. Also AAA games are marvels of technology and this is someone who is looking for more Undertale like games, and indie games that tell an interesting story about the human condition.
Nothing weird about calling the bullshit that is AAA. Anyone got a problem with that criticism, they either sycophants, boot lickers without an original though in their head, or the ones in charge fucking it all up in the first place. They go fuck themselves.
Most people don't like change. That's what considered weird. Diversity is change, innovation is change. Both need each other.

Sucks to be them. Change happens for better and/or worse. It has already happened for better when talking about diversity and games coming from more than just America, Canada, Japan, or parts of Western Europe. A few bitches who can't accept (and constantly cry on social media don't count) that are losing their stranglehold or already lost it. Some know it, others are in-denial and can't handle the truth. That is why its important to help the young ones and let them go their own path and do good to the best of their abilities. They're gonna make mistakes of course, but it's a matter of how bad, and what they're going to do to learn from it, or to make up for it.
The only line I feel should not be crossed with art is when it is actively harmful to the subject matter directly. I may not personally support some other forms of art, due to my own standards, but I will not argue that it should flat-out not exist unless that particular line is crossed.Most people don't like change. That's what considered weird. Diversity is change, innovation is change. Both need each other.
On another note even weirder note...
There is no such thing as Degenerate art, it's a concept invented by the Nazis.
Degenerate art - Wikipedia
This should apply equally in my opinion to misogyny art/anti woman/art/so called non-con games and the LGBTQ games, and anti-fascist games. The one line I disagree with is children. That's where I draw the line. But 18 years olds in FICTIONAL art and above should be legal. Is it weird yes, but so are sex dolls, and those legal.
What the fuck are you talking about? You don't need some dark money group to start a culture war, you just need some retard who wants clicks to make a video about dei or woke or some made up bullshit term that somehow gains traction with idiots.
While I've never had US dominos and am not a fan of takeaway food at all myself, every American I've heard talk about UK dominoes has said they're far better than US.
People tell me that a lot of the difference is down to ingredient quality. Like Dominoes and Pizza Hut are bottom of the barrel takeaway pizza - barely considered a step above a frozen supermarket pizza - but I mean, they're fine. Not worth the money paid most of the time in my case - nearly $30 a pizza delivered, fuck off Dominos.
