Fat, purple-haired butch lesbian with insane vocal fry is playing Diablo 4 co-op alongside clueless younger colleague. Highlights include:
-
spamming basic attacks almost the whole time while resource bar is full
-
dying on the easiest difficulty level
-
talking about how both women are products of university game design mills
-
they are both dungeon designers (dungeons are possibly the worst designed aspect of the entire game)
It’s a complete dumpster fire of a video. Tons of people are taking it as total confirmation that diversity hiring practices are what ruined Diablo 4. There are a few detractors in the comments, but they are mostly getting roasted.
Huge mistake by Blizzard. The interviews with various diversity hire devs were bad enough, but there was some plausible deniability there. This is two clear diversity hires, with rubber-stamped credentials, struggling to competently play their own video game. They’re showing off the terrible dungeon design while boasting that their sole contribution to the game was dungeon design. It’s like every anti-woke turbo hitler’s dream come true.
Sad thing is, Diablo Immoral (not a typo) is still making Blizz an absolute mountain of money. As of November of last year it had already broken $300 million in microtransaction sales. Whales gonna whale, and until they stop doing so things won't change.
Anything with a pre-order or a phone app should be ignored by the community.
That would sort it out quickly.
As for China, they'll move on quickly enough.
