The great thing about SBI detected is it only lists the games they worked on and nothing else. That forces people to use pattern recognition of every game they worked on is shit and it's indirect enough that Steam can easily say it isn't harassment or anything rule violation.
The problem with having groups like 'is it woke' is you're starting off politically biased so you're less likely to view things as objectively as required to be a successful curator.
How about "DEI" detected. Instead of "SBI detected". Where they list any game that belongs to a company that has "DEI" on their website,
Nah because they change the name frequently, it's no longer DEI that's the concern but bridge.
Tracking a company only is easier as harder to just switch names.
I'd say it's better to go a touch broader with all consulting companies. Literally just name the consultation company, add a link for evidence, and let the user take that as is.
It doesn't invoke that pattern recognition you mentioned earlier as much, but it does promote some level of objectivity through user judgement of each company, while also shining a light on how prevalent these consultation firms are becoming/have become within the industry.
That would be, literally, every single company. Except for small indies who don't have any sort of HR department.
And even some of those.
I'm an idiot, what is SBI?
Sweet Baby inc, everyone just shortens it to SBI now.
Because saying sweet baby constantly gets obnoxious lol.
Thanks. I'm only getting the surface layer of this story because I don't have enough time to keep up.
It's a neat story, spoiler alert, several governments have their militaries involved with it!
