If you want an honest answer is because for a while racism that direction was ok and a small group of people become bold enough to brag about it and we are slowing seeing those repercussions

Thanks. I wouldn't say that's a win for incels, but moreso a win for people who aren't racist.

In the video game industry, saying you refuse to speak to or hire white people is looked upon as positive diversity. They love it.
And when I say they, I mean other white people.
Which makes no sense, as it would mean they literally hate themselves, but here we are.

Think of all the cringe shit that must've been in this game. All the potential memes we missed out on. The Pride Armor, the Bharvs, The Professor, "Trigger", BIPOC murals…No new avatar for you
Is this really an incel victory? Feels more like a tragic loss.
All those memories will be lost, like tears in rain

Quality games using valuable Disney properties sell a lot, look at Marvel Rivals, Spider-Man 2 or Star Wars Jedi Survivor to name a few.
Making a team looking at skin color or gender to discriminate the most common group among devs instead of hiring focusing only in the most skilled and experienced ones makes very difficult to make quality games.
And well, as IP Black Panther is C tier stuff for Disney. Can't be compared to other ones like Star Wars, Marvel, Wolverine, Spider-Man and so many other ones in terms of popularity.

yep but the recurrent joke here is that people which do not consider themselves racists and/or have applied common sense to criticism of companies forcing politics and such things in games, have been tagged as incels by these same companies/devs/media, and thous the joke of "rare incel win"

Happy to see the industry healing bit by bit. Bring on the reckoning, bring on the renaissance.
This experiment of the feminization of an established demographic needs to be correctly represented (shrinkage)
I'm hopeful I will see a AAA studio produce a testosterone filled trailer with a male lead, giving off vibes from the 360 era. Then I will know we are back.

Funny enough thats a huge problem in the current AAA industry debacle, and it isn't talk about very much. Its so painfully obvious what has happened to several western studios.
Stop hiring retards, retards.

The employee who made the comments was a narrative designer for Cliffhanger, not a executive or someone making hiring decisions there. Black Panther is a growing IP and I'm sure Disney would love to find a studio to get a game out the door, but they worked with the wrong publisher on this.

It would be great to see Sony Japan take back PlayStation and usher in that cool fucking vibe again. Fun games, humour, variety, creativity, that awe. That feeling like everyone there is firing on all cylinders to produce greatness.No, we need to go further back. At least 2 more decades.

Because they're not genuine. The genuine believers in DEI are just seen as juveniles to be placated for the sake of getting social asspats and ESG points. Even with all this DEI stuff, the ethnic demographics of game studios haven't really changed all that much. The group that's had the biggest leap in all of this (and I honestly say that's more due to the proliferation of things that facilitate a game besides actually making the game) is white women. Pretty sure the dude who was CEO of Clifftop was white himself.
Like Dead Space right? Because you guys really supported that.

Except for him constantly being a fucking relentless adrenaline fueled bad ass. Check out the cutscenes if you're not going to play it. See for yourself.

Exactly. I personally would have had her fired once I saw this, if I were in charge.

I wanna play good ironman game, it has humongous potential
Think combo of batman and spiderman with tons of lighthearted humour sprinkled on top.If only it wasnt made by western AAA studio i bet we could even get a bit of tony's playboy adventures when he is bimbo hunting inbetween ironman missions =D

I want to see it from companies who virtue signalled and hopped on the bandwagon this past decade.
Money only cares about money.
In about 1 week, we get to see pride flags all up to show solidarity (nothing wrong with that)
Just pointing out, corporations only really care about one thing.
If Mass Effect is a thing and it has the same tonal vibe as that era before it. I will be surprised.
If insomniac can create a marvel product with a Jean Grey who looks like Jean Grey, I would be surprised.
Interesting times ahead.
Doom is a good one.

Unfortunately, not enough people did.
It's the same question I pose whenever people mald about Insomniac making capeshit. What else were they doing that was so prestigious and successful?
This BP game sounded like another version of Gotham Knights, so I'm not particularly saddened by it getting canned; but there's fertile ground there, and definitely for others like Iron Man or Wonder Woman.

It if was a white dude saying that about black people he would have been permanently banned from the industry.

The signs that shit is changing will be news like delays, cancellations, etc especially on high profile projects at an increased rate as they are deciding if it's worth it to change or ditch. You may also get news on executive departures.
Other signals that the internal culture at these larger companies is changing is in the promotional videos and what they choose to focus on in them.
Those are the relatively immediate signs. The change itself won't be felt in Western AAA until 2028/2029 ish in final product. Again, that's if they decide to change or not.
This is all shit from the 'lessons learned' in 2020/2021.

Not only that. In my country the police would bang in my door in less than 24h if I were an employer and said something like this.
This is illegal by criminal law. I'm amazed at the absolute lack of consequences to these people.

I think these publishers are beginning to understand that if your game is a dei slop, it will get clapped on the socials, and you ain't selling shit, so it's just better to cann the whole thing.
