its not going to be good, its woke slop.

How do you know this will be balanced and focused?It has PVP but it’s not as balanced, so I play occasionally but I want something different and more focused

It's a combination of things. A lot of it is backlash from Gamergate. It's also the MeToo movement, Donald Trump, George Floyd and a lot of other reasons why wokeness is at an all-time high.Anyone who thinks anita sarkeesian didn’t irreparably irrevocably fuck up this industry, this is what we’re encountering almost a whole decade after her legacy
Yes it seems Sony is all in on DEI and wokeness ever since they moved to California. Yes this game will bomb as it should.I think Sony purchased this studio is partly because they managed to tick their DEI checkbox.
Yucks, stop this nonsene. Anyway concord looks like a bomb, he can continue his virtue signalling elsewhere soon.
They get to much free money from dumb investment groups like blackrock ...Why do these people always work in game dev.
Studios need to stop hiring these people.

'Concord' Lead Character Designer Believes "Whites Must Acknowledge Their Privileged Position, And Then Actively Work For Equality" Also Claims The Judicial System Is "White Supremacy"

Jon Weisnewski, the Lead Character Designer for Firewalk Studios, the developer of the recently announced Concord game, is a woke activist that buys into the claim that white people are “privileged.”
Following PlayStation showcasing Concord as part of their most recent State of Play video at the end of May, the game’s character designs were mocked across the internet.
In the Gaming subreddit, user gpetrakas declared, “Concord might have the UGLIEST Characters Designs I have ever seen.”
Others agreed. One user wrote, “Yeah I’m not too keen on the character design either but I am also tired of the Pixar toon look that most team shooters have had since like 2007.”
Another added, “It’s like they asked chatgpt to make overwatch again but strip it off all identity.”
Still another posted, “piss yellow, moldy green, wine purple and blue lipstick. who tf thought this was a acceptable color palate need to go.”
It was not just on Reddit. On X, user Mangalawyer wrote, “Concord is a new progressive and modern shooter for Pc & Playstation. It features five black women, four aliens, three robots, and one white man. It’s incredibly diverse and non-heteronormative. Plus, it has pronouns. Are you excited?”
There's more but this is a long article and I'm on a phone lol.
I’m not going to cancel him for holding a shitty opinion as long as his game is good.
Could give two fucks about someone’s personal politics that works on a game
I replace all uses of the word "white" in these scenarios with "black" and realize these freaks are hyper racist.
Netflix show "Dear White People"... imagine... "Dear Black People", a show where we lecture blacks about how to be better.
Twisted.
Why? There is unconscious bias and a lack of non-white characters in video games.For fk sake, leave this shit out of video games. We don't give a crap about your views.
As Blackman, it's hard to see these garbages with their garbage takes.
I just don't give enough of a fuck
Yup, it's very clear that a lot of you don't care.
Some of us do care about morals and there's nothing wrong with that.
Maybe such vile and mean-spirited sentiments aren't in any way present here on Gaf but it's everywhere else online.
Nope. On the gaming side, most people don't hear about an issue like this because they are not interested in <game with employee lacking situational awareness>. This stuff is on the fringes and only occasionally hits a mainstream product like Hogwarts, where there is no major impact, much to the dismay of crazy people. Based on the SBI / DEI detector freak out, there appears to at least be the impression that there could be a negative impact on smaller games. People passing on a product hurts far greater by proportion when your sales ceiling is, you know, not 22+ million. Has anyone suffered a severe blow from this? No idea. It's always revolving around games I'm not interested in to begin with.Agreed. Fuck am I suppose to do with this info? Even if I disagreed with something someone believed, using this dumbass logic, you'd have to avoid pretty much all tech, all games, all entertainment.....nah, I just don't give enough of a fuck about any of this to determine buying something or not based on someone's views.

You are correct indeed. Agree 100%. The Japan Studio was such a stupid closure by them as well. They are woke beyond recognition.If Sony just wanted another generic pvp GAAS shooter, should just give the assignment to their japanese studio instead of shutting them down and making them jobless
So much wokeness to relocate jobs to the west, buying new studios there while shutting down in japan, seems racist
No wonder why western developers are the thriving amidst the current industry crisis. It's like making good games sells.You are correct indeed. Agree 100%. The Japan Studio was such a stupid closure by them as well. They are woke beyond recognition.
Pretty much.I'm black and that shit make no sense. I want to be hired because I'm good at what I do. Are they trying to bring back segregation??
