Pointing out that Gaming "Journalists" will take every chance they can get to make an article about their talking points and not the truth, it's the latest Splash Damage:
This week, Kotaku interviewed an indie developer about how it seems a popular movie copied a scene from his game. Little did this developer know that Kotaku, being Kotaku, would write the article in their typical garbage, race-baiting style, and he called Kotaku out for it. We discuss the whole story along with former Kotaku CEO Stephen Totilo finding out more embarrassing stuff about Activision Blizzard’s ridiculous diversity algorithm and how Twitter employees are basically all commies.

For those that are OOTL about the dev and game in question, here's an archive link to the dev's Twitter post. The dev in question's comment on the article actually got published by Kotaku, albeit with no remarks on his comment. They did, however, "update the article" with more comments from him after it was published.
And while I do see similarities between the battles, and it's not uncommon for Hollywood to see an idea from a smaller creator and rip it off without any attribution, I'm still somewhat dubious on this being a case of "Hollywood Stole My Idea".
As far as Acti-Blizzard's Diversity Algorithm goes, I find it deliciously ironic that the woke are trying to spin this thing as being an OMGRAYCISS creation of people who don't get it at the publisher. They just can't accept that any level of bitching from the "public" (and I use that term lightly, considering it's usually the vocal woke minority that bitch the most) is going to result in someone quantifying the amount of diversity pandering a company can get away with before they step over the line into 'racist caricature'. I've heard more than one podcaster say something asinine like "well, can't you just hire more Latinos or Blacks if you want more diversity of thought?" - completely ignoring the fact that those in the hiring positions don't want diversity of thought or experience, they want the checkboxes on the scorecard filled while maintaining a homogenous groupthink of wokeism.
Cool. I’ll check this episode out.
