Are you going to travel to Redmond?I will believe it when I see it with my own eyes.
Yes and the second the funding stops and it starts to cost company money it's no longer critical component of company growth.If this is true, does it imply that forced diversity is only due to government funding rather than a genuine interest?
Nah. Fuck their jobs. Actively dividing and token hire work should be abolished.This sounds almost too good to be true...
...but also sucks for those losing their jobs.
lol the folks that use the term "DEI" or "woke" have become more annoying then the people they keep crying about.....

Nah. Some always were. No one is "becoming" anything.lol the folks that use the term "DEI" or "woke" have become more annoying then the people they keep crying about.....
That ain’t gonna happen. Insomniac doesn’t outsource for this kind of shit or shoe horn it in. This is 100% the culture they want at their studio.If true thats gonna be the first MS good news in a while.
Please, let this happen to Sony as well so we can finally have a decent Spider-man and Wolverine game.
you're woke.lol the folks that use the term "DEI" or "woke" have become more annoying then the people they keep crying about.....
They weren't real jobs anyways, so did they ever lost jobs to begin with?Nah. Fuck their jobs. Actively dividing and token hire work should be abolished.
End of.
Collecting paychecks is the dream gig.They weren't real jobs anyways, so did they ever lost jobs to begin with?
I dont see how DEI has ever had a chance of being a big profit booster UNLESS the PR image trying for brownie pts (ie. companies changing the logo pride colours for July while not giving a shit about anything about the actual cause or parade) is so successful it outweighs any negative parts.DEI was "supposed" to make business more profitable, but the actuality is that its proven to be massively cash-negative due to controversy and backlash.
Unfortunately for institutions where the negative impact isn't so obvious on the balance sheets (like government and education) no doubt its going to stick around for some time yet.
Do you realize that DEI is the official name of this crap? which other word are we supposed to use?
Yes, I will identify myself as a native indian and reclaim the land.
No one wants to spend every fucking moment of his waking hours on the receiving end of some sort of sermon.
attempts to defend
Because it breeds incompetence. That's why.Lolz, yet many on here spend endless hours talking about "woke" or "DEI"
Ah, the "both sides" fallacy to appear objective while you espouse said ignorance...I'm not defending anything, both sides are annoying as fuck and don't even get they share the same ignorance.....
how’s your pet rock btw?lol, I mean the people who use the term to argue about anything.......
Lolz, yet many on here spend endless hours talking about "woke" or "DEI"

1 side needs to show the work is not um "DEI"
1 side needs to show the work is properly representing diversity
...ya'll both annoying AF lol
M Moriarty1889 The deepest of lolz, sir, you don't even know if MS really stopped doing anything, if folks are worried about this whole "DEI" thing and the goal was to subliminally place it in work, it would make sense to PUBLICALLY "shut down" said team while literally continuing that work.
If anyone ask if something is DEI at MS, we can just say " no bro, they shut down the team, thus no one can ever do that at MS for life as its now illegal and they have the mind control to MAKE SURE its not happening...."
This is as pointless as the pet rock tbh
Doesn't that site still has a lot of Xbox fans? You would think they'd be happy Microsoft has finally taken the first steps to achieve passable competence.There is a thread about this on Resetera and the meltdowns are hilarious….what a bunch of clowns.
you're woke.

I hope this is true. Would be the best news in years.
lol you the real one for checking in!how’s your pet rock btw?
smh, I said "many" i never said you and I find it odd you'd think the post was directed at you.EDMIX let's make a bet. Either you'll find a single one of my posts where you can prove I've spent ANY amount of time (let alone all my time) crying about "woke" and "DEI" or you'll admit you were beating a strawman and talking out of your ass.
*Proceeds to make a word salad of nonsense.So...I don't care much
You would think but they must keep in good standing with the purple haired lunatics who run that cesspool.Doesn't that site still has a lot of Xbox fans? You would think they'd be happy Microsoft has finally taken the first steps to achieve passable competence.
Most of my career.when was that?
Yes but that would make to much sense.Hire the best qualified people, period. As every single business should.
That’s because it doesn’t happen. When you employ people solely based on race/gender and whatever the long list of DEI “identity” bs or whatever the fuck they push down humanities throats, and not simply who is the most qualified for ANY job or career, the overall standards are lower so goes production, so no, if you hire less qualified people simply based on some DEI metric, you will not get the best out of your company production wise or profit wise.I’m still waiting for the onslaught of proof that hiring DEI style leads to big productivity and profit boosts for companies.
I’ve seen it claimed a lot. Never seen numbers and case study proof.
By this logic though, 343 should be shut down too. They hired unqualified people just because they were women. Instead of who's best for the job regardless of gender.When you bring racism, you bring divide.
There is no fucking reason to have a diversity team. That is just plain racism. You aren't bringing people for their skills, but for their color skins.
I will be pissed off, if my company uses me as a black token to fill out their diversity quote.

There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.lol the folks that use the term "DEI" or "woke" have become more annoying then the people they keep crying about.....
Companies publicly state their goals sometimes. HP announced years ago blatant skewing to females and minorities to reach a number by 2030.Ok, but who is doing that? Like, have we ever even seen a company flat out say they will ONLY hire based on that and ignore all other skills or something?
I've heard many on here say this more then actually prove this btw
Like who is hiring someone based on that to lets say direct a game but their last job was a line cook at Burger King? lol
"He can make dem impossible whoopers, he can code and direct Saints Row Reboot"
Bro you are barking up the wrong tree I PROKISE you. I am a retired FDNY Firefighter. I was a first responder at 9/11 and worked down there for 7 months.Ok, but who is doing that?

HP Targets Gender Parity in Leadership Roles by 2030 - ESG Today
Technology giant HP announced today a series of diversity and inclusion initiatives and goals, including a commitment to reach gender parity in its leadership ranks by 2030. According to the company, the new goals aim to help improve diversity, equality and inclusiveness in the technology...www.esgtoday.com
In addition to becoming the first Fortune 100 tech company to commit to gender parity in leadership, HP announced several other 2030 targets, including reaching greater than 30% technical women and women in engineering roles, meeting or exceeding labor market representation for racial/ethnic minorities in the U.S., maintaining higher than 90 percent rating on its internal inclusion index for all employee demographics annually, and reaching one million workers through worker empowerment programs.
There were some articles about it. Them also hiring people who hated Halo.Like who? Do you have any proof or? Like what exact person was hired that didn't qualify based on the resume for the job?
I definitely agree but I feel we generally share the same sentiment regarding this topic.There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
The way I’ve had it explained to me is that it’s not so much diverse aren’t afforded opportunities but rather they don’t take them as they have a negative mindset from the outset that they don’t belong and won’t try.
I’m 100% onboard with improving that, we should be giving them more opportunities and showing them they can get those jobs.
The part where I disagree is where anyone should get a role over others who are qualified. But maybe those without the skills should start as interns, and that’s the way in, learn from the ground up.

Shortly after the liberal fucking DEI total fucking mess that is NYC (where I was born, raised, worked and put my life on the line every single day for) started slowly creeping in and 3 times a year they would close our firehouse down (and every firehouse in the city of NY had to do this), to drill DEI bullshit into is. First issue is they close a firehouse for that nonsense exposing the civilians we were first due too for a fire medical emergency or whatever.
Then came the “hiring freeze” because the city was sued by groups because they determined it wasn’t “inclusive”. End result, we had an 80 lb woman assigned to our firehouse who was totally fucking useless. She literally almost got all the rest of us killed at a bad fire.
Point is this isn’t about “equality and inclusion”, every single profession or career has a certain standard, criteria, requirements whatever, and when you have to lower them just to get your workforce to where your DEI stats are where you think needs to be to satisfy some radical left bullshit agenda.
Marinate on that. This isn’t just about game development companies or publishers, or corporate. It’s everything. Lower standards for military, police officers, and on and on.
Then wonder why things are fucked up all around. Look in the mirror about your fucking policies and the results they produce.
So I guess if FED reinstates ZIRP in 2024-2025, ESG/DEI will make a comeback?The economical explanation is speculation!
When interest rates are low for long periods of time, investors have the incentive to stop doing due deligency and just gamble on the stock market like a cassino. Just pick a cheap stock with upside potential(like a silicon valley startup that promises to be the next Paradigm shift) , put your money there and just wait for infinite profits. During this mania phase it was almost impossible to lose money since everything went up. Even animals such as octopus or ants could outperform the market averages by just guessing a stock. The only way you could lose money in such degenerate enviroment is if the company got itself in some kind of controversy such as an environmental disaster,sexual assault alegations,racial discrimination accusations or, in the case of pharmaceutical companies,if the FDA didn't aprove your new drug.
That's when ESG came in. Blackrock and the wall street boys realized that in such environment profitability and sustentability of a company didn't matter because the stock would go up anyway. As long as a company is good with the environment,women and minorities the stock will go up. So Blackrock and the gang created the ESG score which is an index that tracks how much of a good boy you and your company are about those issues. DEI is part of it,it's a department that companies need to have whose job is to ensure compliance to ESG.
Blackrock made money by buying stock in this companies when they were small and selling when the price went parabolic. The ESG score became a """safety""" index for this period of mass speculation.
