[DeepEnigma]

 

[mansoor1980]

reducing GHG emissions?

 

[Bry0]

Sony is dad, wake up gaf, it’s time to wake up.

 

[SJRB]

Try creating a reality where DEI doesn’t tank your business.

Good luck, buddy.

 

[LordCBH]

“Promote DEI, combat climate change”

Oh fuck off you useless hack. Just make good games. Sony, get rid of this fuck.

 

[Woopah]

Seems fairly straightforward and makes sense.

 

[firegamer273]

is this joever for sony ?

 

[Business]

 

[Punished Miku]

reducing GHG emissions?

Finally, a Sony policy I can co-sign.

 

[Nickolaidas]

CHAI NAH. The last frontier.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Concord and if there are others like it, will be the wake-up call. Dust hasn't settled yet.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

*Checks how Ubisoft is doing*

Yeah, good luck with that. I wish you all the best...

 

[LordCBH]

Concord and if there are others like it, will be the wake-up call. Dust hasn't settled yet.

I hope their DEI initiatives cause them to lose record amounts of money. People have been clear for a while now: nobody wants it.

I will enjoy seeing this idiot being shown the door when he loses them even more billions.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

It's a ppt prepared for shareholders. Would be suprised if things like "workspace diversity, dei, etc" aren't mentioned. You can go to any mid size and up corp and odds are one of your training would be about DEI. It is a buzzpoint companies add while representing themselves. MS does this( would be suprised if Nintendo doesn't do this), Google does this, etc. Won't look too much into this.

 

[TGO]

All I heard was profit loss & failure...

 

[MagusMajul]

Sony will not survive. This is not the way that trends are heading this is a very foolish decision on their part, and expensive one.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I hope their DEI initiatives cause them to lose record amounts of money. People have been clear for a while now: nobody wants it.

They literally cleaned some of Bungie's house due to that DEI shit that led them to be a money burning inefficient operation.

Then the Concord bomb, UbiSoft bombs, either this is all talk on the global stage, or they haven't woken up yet.

 

[sono]

Can someone tell me what the op title(

 

[PeteBull]

Looks like few more concord-alike diseasters and change at the top is needed before sony is back to their normal form, no worries, i got plenty time to wait, my wallet is safe for now xD

 

[LordOcidax]

 

[kazuyamishima]

 

[PandaOk]

Seems entirely reasonable.

 

[Ronin_7]

Some of you have clearly never worked for a multi-billion dollar corporation. It's just common sense: people need to be inclusive, accept everyone, and collaborate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

 

[R3TRO]

Sounds ok.

 

[SlimySnake]

Learned nothing from ubisoft i see.

 

[Fake]

We need another Concord. 400m wasn't reality enough.

 

[Wooxsvan]

promote and hire based on race and gender. oh fun. bunch of racist and sexist pieces of shit

 

[intbal]

Did Sony, anywhere in that gobbledygook, happen to mention "fun" as an element of games that they intended to focus on?

 

[Hookshot]

Be a tad embarrassing if you had an extensive post history defending this company right about now.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ghost of yotei will sell less than Tsushima.

Just a warning Totoki. Don’t say I didn’t tell ya.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

 

[TrueLegend]

This is pure PR nonsense. This is the reason why Phil Spenser is talked better even though Xbox is not doing super, this kind of guys just read from the page. Talk like a person man.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Doczu]

Ok, i'm praying for another gaming crash, they deserve it.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Is that SouljaBoy console still available?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

multiple realities and multiple genders. it seems like a winning formula

 

[Roxkis_ii]

People have a negative impression of DEI, but I think as long as people are held accountable for their work, it's not a problem.

I think it's the lack of accountability that causes disasters like Concord.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

where are the games?

 

[March Climber]

where are the games?

2025

 

[TintoConCasera]

Some of you have clearly never worked for a multi-billion dollar corporation. It's just common sense: people need to be inclusive, accept everyone, and collaborate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Why? Why the need to have people from different backgrounds? I'd say talent and passion are much more important than race and background, specially when it comes to software development.

 

[ChiefDada]

Some of you have clearly never worked for a multi-billion dollar corporation. It's just common sense: people need to be inclusive, accept everyone, and collaborate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I mean, it's insane how they go ballistic over the most mundane things. ESG reporting has been going on for decades so why is everyone so hung up on it this gen? What/how exactly do people think the contents of this disclosure affect the games they play?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Infinite losses incoming.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Hey Sony,

Wanna help the climate? quit making consoles and all your other hardware with all that plastic and emissions or shut the fuck up.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Because I'm out of fucking ideas here. What in the bollocks is going on?

 

[RoboFu]

He said that right after concord?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

This is pure PR nonsense. This is the reason why Phil Spenser is talked better even though Xbox is not doing super, this kind of guys just read from the page. Talk like a person man.

I don't think it's PR nonsense.

DEI initiatives impact who the company/studios hire (essentially not hiring on merit but on "marginalised" charactertistics).

When you hire based on radical ideology you're going to end up hiring a lot of radicals.

Naturally these ideological loons demand X studio or Y game implements these philosophies into their end objective and aims.

Then you end up with the worst situation when the lunatics get creative control of a game and the art is compromised as we're seeing and becomes bankrupt.

Then you end up with something like Concord which can crush a studio or with boardroom Ubisoft games which has put them on life support.
