I wonder if this will be cancelled next. it will definitely be delayed that's for sure

It was already delayed.

At least this game had footage. The other game (that this thread is about) was just a half-assed announcement that most likely happened during a meeting.

Ya that changes everything. No way that ideology would ever make it into a Black Panther game. No way. Never would happen.

I don't personally think she should be hired by any major game studio by virtue of these comments. But that's "cancellation", right?

If and when the shoe is or has been on the other foot publicly or privately - though I cannot remember something this explicit tbh - will the people who want this direction of travel btfo'd stay consistent? Idk
 
Good, seems the end of an era for this Marvel/DC trash, only a few left now, hopefully Insomniac can be free of this superhero shit soon aswell, get that piece of shit Wolverine game out then let them be.

"footage" I mean, sure... you can call it that. but a cutscene can just as well be something cobbled together for a trailer. it wouldn't be the first time this happened.
the original Motorstorm trailer was made without the studio even knowing and before they even started development if I remember correctly. and then there's the Phantom Dust one, which also was made completely without the knowledge of the studio and before anything was actually done on the game.

Her comments are literally and blatantly illegal and expose any company that hires her to lawsuits.

This is the reality of the situation, companies, universities, nonprofits, etc. for years if not decades have been discriminating on the basis of race in a way that was illegal but got away with it because, basically, nobody was suing them and the government wasn't investigating them. That is changing now so they need to get their shit together ASAP.

If it helps, there is footage at a GDC conference where the developers themselves were making changes to the character models on the fly (like removing BP's mask) and using freecam to show off the environment and character models.

Agreed. Disgusting comments regardless of what skin colour they are directed to. I wouldn't hire her regardless of her talent.
 
I wonder if they were looking at incel victories and what this studio was saying on twitter and that got into the calculous here? I'd be worried at this point. It won't sink the game by itself but it brings scrutiny and if your game is anything less than excellent, twitter drama from snotty developers is fuel on the fire.

How else can you explain wanting to surround yourself with people who not only think like you, but also look like you, other than as rampant narcissism?

Oh yeah... "social justice" or something...

Occam's razor says its the former.


To be fair in the video she's talking about some indie pet-project and not the EA thing, but fuck, even taking on someone like that as junior artist seems like a really bad idea! Even if they don't have much if any creative swing they are inevitably be disruptive due to their needyness.
 
Now that is how business is done! As you're reading this post, know that dozens if not hundreds of college educated professionals went to work today to work on Fairgame$.

The word is not "comment" but "criminal offense"

It's not the same. Neither for the individual nor for the company.

It's a civil violation. No one's going to jail for this at small enterprise in the US.

I am aware of a number of ongoing cases where white men and even Christians have been discriminated against. It is not a laundry list or something I would say has been going on for "decades".

There are a handful in the current admin whom I believe (for reasons I won't get into here) would actually prefer to just allow private business to discriminate if they had the political leverage to do so. That would be a horrendous idea, but they're not intimidated by operations like hers.

The last admin certainly was fine with allowing private businesses to discriminate and encouraged operations like hers.

True. You know I was celebrating when they got btfo'd.
I suppose I mean to say that I hope we can land in the reasonable and not constantly have wild pendulum swings.

Good. Now cancel the Iron Man game as well and any Star Wars game. EA has enough IPs in its closet that deserve a new game much more than the Disney shit.

I rather have EA instead of fucking ubisoft tho 😂😂
 
Let me guess, EA threw money at this game after the 2020 Summer of Love, anticipating insatiable demand for anything related to Black Panther.
 
I don't understand. She's such a talented game dev. Her game Validate is a modern art masterpiece. Check it out. EA don't know what they are losing with this cancelation.

This one stands out to me because of how explicit it really is. I get your point though.
 
The studio with the racists, right?

yeah i'd say i'm alright with the cancellation, to be honest any superhero game can just go away for a while, unless it's really an interesting concept, i'd rather devs just focus on new and interesting ideas.

part of me wishes it came out and crashed and burned though, a sort of Dustborn 2.0

Why is their art style always so off-putting? Why does woke always look perverted and or pedophilic... I feel like whoever drew this should seriously have their browser history checked
