Now that they’ve set the whole industry on fire

They’ll rebrand into anti-woke. They’ll consult companies to go back to their origins, consult to make sure games are 100% woke free and the story attracts white male gamers

Like a pyromaniac working as a firefighter. They’ll consult on the problems they made 🤡

Probably going to rename themselves and request studios not credit them to stay out of the public spotlight. They already have points of contact at every AAA, AA, and A developer in the world with studios hungry for their services, it's actively damaging for them to be a public facing entity. They'll continue doing their thing in the shadows from here on out.

This is, unfortunately, the most accurate answer. Their website doesn't matter to anyone in the industry and was actually just a liability for them.

Recent AAA games absolutely tanking, however, does bode well. With any luck, (this is just me huffing copium, not making an actual prediction ) in a decade or so companies like sweet baby won't exist and all of their ex employees will be blacklisted from the industry.

Yeah we saw this with Microsoft with Bridge. Same shit, different name.

SBI in essence will exist but will work in the shadows. I'd be curious to see what big companies will take them up though with how many games they've effectively help tank and the overall public perception of DEI in games (not good).

I dont understand why game studios would hire them anyway. I mean didnt one of their higher ups literally say publicly that their goal was to destroy gaming?, or was all that made up?.
I know there were supposed to be vids of it going around but i never saw them.

I just don’t get it. Why are people so obsessed with Sweet Baby Inc but not with Black Rock and Vanguard. Sweet Baby is just a tool, just a product of Black Rock and Vanguard’s policies.

If you force Sweet Baby to shut down, nothing will change. For example, the developers of Silent Hill 2 Remake used another DEI consulting firm.

If there is demand, there will be supply, and Black Rock and Vanguard create demand by including inclusivity standards in their ESG investment score. Businesses are forced to be inclusive or they will lose money. And they need consulting firms to boost their ESG rating.

Blame Black Rock and Vanguard. Fight their policies. And if you win and force them to get rid of inclusivity in ESG, then all the consulting firms will simply cease to exist. Sweet Baby Inc and all the others will simply vanish in the blink of an eye because noone will want to use them anymore.

Sweet Baby Inc is definitely evil (for example for how they racketed Wukong's devs), but they are like small-time thugs in a larger mafia structure. They just do the dirty work for more powerful people and they are completely salvagable.
This.

School is out for the holidays so the Computer Science III script kiddies are probably DDOSing it.

Could be a new strategy.
Burning and delete every remain legacy information, data, work and colaboration of the company, pretend it never existed and "restart" with a new brand name.

Sweet baby mentioned!
Neogaf:

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR SWEET BABY AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.


But I fuck with that tho.
Nanoangstrom is triggering me. Can we get a consultant firm to rewrite this or maybe have a 'bad science' trigger warning.
 
Even if this disgusting group with a creepy ass name got wiped out, there are still other evil shits like Black Rock and Vanguard out there unfortunately.

If you're developing a game they exist to offer you protection but if you don't pay them, it'll be their brick going through your store window.

It's called the mafia.
 
Even if they shut down, the employees will find somewhere else to continue their work. Big part of the corporate world is captured by this divisive ideology. Stay vigilant.

It's poetic how gaming was one of the hardest hit in this "cultural war", I mean look at NeoGAF, and now is the one paying back harder than any other segment if the society, imo even influencing them to follow

To be shut down and replaced by another consulting firm.

This.
I don't know why people obsess over SBI. If they go away then devs/publishers will just go to some other consulting firm for their DEI stuff.
People have this weird idea that SBI is somehow pressuring companies like Insomniac, Bioware, UBisoft, etc to fill their games with DEI when the real issue is that these companies WANT to have that stuff in their games. If they can't get it from SBI they'll just go to some other company that can provide the service, or they'll hire people do it internally.
 
Alyssa Mercante and her SBI friends/affiliates have all been deleting tweets, sometimes hundreds per day, since Mercante started the lawsuit against Smash JT, which will hopefully backfire hard.
Maybe they figured their public image is ruined and they're doing a rebranding.

God I hate how she wears glasses. Reminds me of how pornstars wear glasses to fake looking intelligent. Probably why she wears them like that too.
Pretty sure those aren’t prescription. They look to be the gamer tinting glasses lmao.

Hence why she wears them that way. She’s trying to get you to her only fans.

Any gooners!?

Even if SBI is gone, they'll just rebrand as another company and try again. Just like a game studio failing and shutting down. Next thing you know, the leaders founded a new studio with new logo too all ready to go.
