But that would mean spending money on actual artists and not just using the lowest paid SJW employees they can find to poorly cobble together generic NPCs by 'mixing together' ethnicities.
Oh and yes, I also think that cost cutting is another scam these big studios are running with the SJW employees. It's pretty genius actually, they can look like they're massively expanding on the surface, but in reality they're paying the SJWs fuck all because none of them have the expertise needed to make even average games. I suspect now we're seeing them get worse and worse and the games not even being remotely creative or fun there's a major brain drain happening at these places.
When in doubt, check their corporate pages and the staff photos, it instantly tells you what's going on. I'm not even being mean a bunch of the younger ones depending on the company look like they're special needs like a lot of leftists do. Either that or they've got that typical cringe European leftist punk rock/hipster look going on and yes I have been doing some weaponised autism on this which is why I'm such a cynical bastard about every release.
As someone who works in a major corporation, what's truly going on is that executive level people are either out-of-touch (but into the propaganda) or they're aware but just trying to ride the gravy train as long as they can before things fall a part.
The problem is that all these leftist people are going to school and getting taught all this leftist crap. HR departments are convinced D&I adds significant value to corporations because that's what they are taught. It's almost like a virus that starts to effect each corporation and executives that fight against it have their careers ruined so the executives just go with it.
It's not saving anyone any money. It's costing companies significant amounts of money because they're hiring untalented people but paying them as if they were talented because it's the only way to get talented people too. Or if they are paying less than they can't get talented people. This D&I stuff that has infected every major corp is leading to reduced quality in all aspects of what these companies do. It's most definitely not helping them make more money. Some executives know it but can't do anything about it. As long as the company pays the CEOs paycheque and shareholders aren't firing them, then they're happy. Nothing else matters.
Oooo thanks, I didn't know that, I thought they were being smarter about it. If it were me I'd be paying these morons as little as possible and then collecting the ESG money on the side while leaving enough to keep the company afloat. However that's clearly giving them too much credit, looks like we're probably going to see a collapse soon then if what you post is true because there's been talk about the writers and actors in the games industry going on strike.
But also the third one is mandated by the state and/or coercion.
And the first one is mandated by the shareholders.
I envision most teams at this point are comprised of about equal parts “totally useless diversity hires who contribute no value to the project” and “competent white/Asian dudes who are being tasked with 200% work for the same shit pay”. Anyone who is both diverse and competent is making seven figures as a team leader at some Fortune 500 company. Anyone who is white/Asian and legitimately talented has fled the companies to go into business for himself. All the big teams are hemorrhaging money with a combination of diverse saboteurs and criminally overworked white dudes.
That’s why there are three traits and not just two. You can find diverse and competent workers, but they are so rare - and competition for their services is so high - that they can command ridiculous salaries. So you can’t have competent and diverse employees without blowing up your budget.

The new paradigm for hiring:
Choose two.

I have yet to see this combination actually work.

Yup. DICE and CDPR are two perfect examples of this, and the quality of the games over time are reflective of the studio culture.
