It's utterly dystopian how we have both homeland security and the ADL stepping in to strong-arm-gamers just because a Brazilian steam curator made a list of games that Sweet Baby Inc had worked on. (If they are so proud of their work why are they this mad over someone else sharing the public information that had been on their very own site?)


If you're not in the know, they are a woke consultancy agency that has other subsidiarity branch off companies like Weird Ghosts and Infinite Ammo.


I'll just let their portfolio speak for them. They had their hands in the Saints-row Reboot,Forspoken,Alan Wake 2,and Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. Perhaps one of those games is a guilty pleasure of yours but financially they've all been flops. (To be fair they also worked on GOW Ragnarok which was not a flop but even then it received criticism for certain added elements that do not fit in with Kratos' core personality traits nor the Norse setting he has found himself in with his son.)


Gamers never took issue with diversity in their games or other entertainment. Characters like Blade,Static Shock,Storm,Juan (From Guacamelee),Raven (Tekken version),Eddy Gordo,Elena,Laura,and Sheva Alomar are just a few examples of representation done correctly! (In my opinion.) All most gamers want is likable appealing characters and fantasy escapism without pander-heavy-current-year-power-point-propaganda!


But when women in modern western games are made uglier to not offend the sensitivities of certain special snow-flakes in current year whilst we play as a deaf black girl spray painting graffiti art in Spiderman 2 instead of as Black-Cat,Spider-Gwen,or as Venom it's safe to say Triple A gaming in the west is very much up its' own caboose!


Any sane person into an artistic creative medium will feel stifled by this because these days there's too many cooks in the kitchen. Good luck getting non-political competent scripts or hetero-normative-fan-service character concept designs passed the equity,inclusion,and diversity officers!


By the way, this is just variations of Larry Fink's forcing of behaviors. It's not about helping downtrodden yet talented people. It's about check-marking boxes so boomers in high positions can both pat themselves on their backs and get that sweet-as-honey-esg-score-funding! They just want the money along with more ways to influence as well as control their consumers.


Granted its' not working out for them very well! For example, more people on average went back to playing the older Arkham games than current players logged in to the Suicide Squad servers. Forspoken shut down the studio that created it. Saints-row reboot shut down the studio that created it. Alan Wake is a divisive title splitting its' intended fan base right down the middle. The collateral damage forced woke-ness has inflicted upon the gaming industry cannot be ignored.......
