Going out of your way to not include “any social or political agenda” is a social and political agenda.
It’s also fucking impossible if you’re telling a game with any kind of narrative at all. Based on Lords of the Fallen though, saying their games had a narrative is indeed a stretch.
Cool, so, boring ass games with just straight white men and bimbos, because that’s not politics, that’s the default.
I can’t wait until companies realize that they’re scared of the biggest pussies on earth, conservative white men.
So, they’re only going to make games with no narrative complexity going forward. Got it.
Their games are ass, this don’t surprise me
I want to make a game that doesn’t have a single straight white man in it, just to rustle the jimmies of these anti-woke wieners.
Apex Legends already exists.
I only played it on launch and I’m pretty sure the starting line up was mostly straight white dudes with a war crime fetish.
I was mostly only joking, but after having to look them up because I don’t really play it, only 4 of the 26 characters MIGHT be straight white men, assuming they are all straight, the rest are canonically not straight or not male or not white.
This statement outlines this developer’s sociopolitical agenda.
Another video game company embraces bigotry because reasons.
Small time Polish publisher, with the only games of fame, so to speak, being Lords of the Fallen (both versions) and Sniper: Ghost Warrior series (no relation to Sniper Elite)
Thought a different dev did the first one, which I actually enjoyed.
In all honesty, I don’t care if a game has an agenda. Just if it’s relevant and well written
Even if it’s relevant and well written, if its agenda is something like “white race is best race” or “trans people are insane”, then I don’t care, it’s shit. Then again, people who think that don’t usually make good art. Some have in the past, like JK Rowling, but what has she done lately? She’s a has been.
What would DEI even mean for this game? It looks like it’s about hooded and masked figures killing baddies in a medieval world.
It means no black people or women in power
Obligatory:
There are only two skin colors: White and political.
Two genders: Male and political.
Two sexual orientations: Straight and political.
Two religious beliefs: Christian and political.
Etc. pp.
You’re still doing that anti AI signature nonsense after all this time!? 🤣 My brother in Darwin… That text truly means NOTHING to the bots scraping the content.
Hmm, I thought I’d blocked all the people making uninformed comments about it by now. Glad I can add one to the list 🙂
making uninformed comments about it
I have a bot scrapping and feeding every comment of yours to 2 different LLMs without the AI warning link, so they’re absolutely correct that you’re wasting your time
And the fun part is that blocking this account won’t stop me <3
then you can block me too, i guess. AI companies literally use pirated media to train their models. If not even big publishing houses and studios can do anything against it, your little link will generate nothing but laughter
CI Games per the article. won’t be purchasing anything from them going forward.
I guess they are seeing what is happening to other DEI-heavy games. Pendulum swung too far into one direction and it’s starting to come back.
Other DEI heavy games like LoL, that have been wildly successful for years.
That’s true. Also look at Marvel Rivals.
Yall can dislike all you want, but we all know a lot of people out there are not fans of DEI ideology. You can say they are wrong, you can say they are immoral, but that doesn’t change the fact people have started to have serious negative feelings towards DEI stuff - and companies are noticing it.
Companies want money, they don’t give a shit about DEI. They only have a shit about it when it was beneficial to them and their pocket. DEI went hard when it used to pump their stock cause ESG and shit - it ain’t like that no more. People are starting to dislike it and it’s only gonna get more intense.
As time goes on DEI will be affecting company earnings negatively more and more - and thus they will stop the DEI stuff. SIMPLE.
It’s true and we all know it. Love or hate DEI - it’s increasingly declining, and the simple reason is - common man ain’t a fan of it.
Fuck off, bigot.
I always chuckle when I hear/see the B world. lol It vibes like yall are afraid to use other insults so you use the B word for everything. Bitgot this, bitgot that, you are a bigot, they are bigots, everyone who is not left is a bigot. lol
So the game is going to be completely lacking in story and motivations and dialogue? Cool flex?
Good, I stand with them 100%. This Dei stupidity has gone far enough
Sir you can’t have this opinion on Lenmy/reddit. I fully agree with you that this forced DEI bs has to stop, but you can not say this stuff here without being down voted. Once again, I fully agree with you, this can’t blow over soon enough.
Thanks, and I don’t care about all the leftists/activists that live in their enclosed world that think that DEI works when it’s proven, in every company and product made, that it doesn’t.
Let them keep crying 😂
Windshield wipers were invented by a woman.
Automatic elevator doors were invented by a Black man.
Alan Turning.
But tell me again how diverse people don’t make successful products?
There’s not a point in arguing with fascists, they didn’t reach their worldview through an observation of reality and you won’t deprogram them over the internet.
For another matter, chances are these two idiots are just one idiot with a sock puppet.
Hahahaha
I love that you people call everyone who doesn’t agree with you a fascist.
It’s pathetic, and again, shows how closed minded you are if you can’t accept that not everyone has to agree with EVERYTHING you believe in.
Lmaooo Why are you bringing up women? 😂😂
You think because we don’t like the current implementation of DEI that it means we hate women and diversity?
This shows which side really has the closed mind. Try to stop judging, you’ll all live happier lives.
Im just suck of the forced DEI crap in our entertainment products. There is nothing wrong with it, unless it’s forced like it has been for the last couple of years only to hit a checkbox for that sweet dei money.
100%.
They don’t realize that DEI is now “Inclusion for me, exclusion for thee”
They’re just happy that they get their own space, and everyone else is excluded.
It’s ironic, as before they were complaining that they weren’t part of the group. Now they get invited, and they kick out the original people.
Hypocrites!
Say what you will about the woke gaming agenda, I love to see a company brave enough to take this stance. It’s refreshing to see a publisher wear its beliefs on its sleeve because now I know that I don’t have to spend money on their trash games
City Interactive and trash games have always been synonymous. They shortened their name to get rid of the mountain of trash they have produced, but it’s not working.
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
