What an ironic statement coming from company forcing DEI on others. For example, South By Midnight.

Wonder if they are still working with Remedy after the Alan Wake 2 craziness?

That game was so frustrating. It wasn't bad, but it obviously could have been amazing if they hadn't stopped working on it to change the main character to a black chick and make the entire narrative about race.

Every company should stop working with them, and the only way to force that to happen is for gamers to stop buying games SBI works on.

When the market doesn't like your work, it's not the market's fault you're failing.

What they are describing is fundamentally no budget indie games, not a for profit business model.

If you want fake video games about pansexul eskimo vegans fighting for climate justice, you're more than welcome to make one yourself. Demanding studios pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the idea is obviously laughable, yet somehow that's exactly what happened.

Actually listening to these retards has gotten dozens of studios shut down and thousands of people fired, and it's probably still not enough.

The list of closed/divested XBox studios and the list of XBox studios that leaned heavily on Sweet Baby Inc are almost a mirror image of each other.

Yep. I was skeptical at first, but so far she's been firing on all cylinders.

That fricking company has been the entire reason multiple games have failed.

But who’s really at fault? SBI, or the studios who swallowed their shite?

I’d say SBI just took advantage of the ideological and political rot that was already festering in these companies.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game as the youths say.

Both

Sweet Baby Inc is filled with angry ideologically captured idiots

The major companies don’t have the backbone to tell them that they don’t care about whatever veiled threats they make, they can get fricked
