Wasn't that game with the ugly annoying black chick something they worked on with Sweet Baby Inc?
If so given how bad that flopped I can easily see them just cancelling it all than waste money publishing it.
Black Girl Gamers.
It's ironic, all of these "consultant groups" are older than SBI, and now they just get called "SBI-like."
To be fair for Square, turning a tech demo for a new engine that has been absolutely trash is an uphill battle. They probably saw it as a wash and took the DEI money to get something back.
Forspoken? Yeah that was squeenix x black girl gamers.
The dialogue was so bad it went viral and spawned countless memes, and that can be attributed directly to BGG. Also the main character wasn't originally black.
I'm not too sure on this. Pretty sure the original Luminous Engine tech demo that essentially showed that world still had a black girl focus.
Nope, she was absolutely not black: https://s3.amazonaws.com/prod-media.gameinformer.com/styles/body_default/s3/legacy-images/imagefeed/Square%20Enix%20Shows%20Off%20Its%20Next%20Generation%20Engine%20With%20Two%20Videos/agnisnewvideo_610.jpg
Wait, was Agni's Philosophy supposed to be Luminous Engine demo and a prototype for Athia? I do recall that showcase a really goddamn long time ago. Trailers say 11 years.
Looks up Project Athia trailer. It's only three years old.
You know what, I think I'll take your word for it. Didn't realize the Athia demonstration was so young in comparison.
Square enix already had an ethics department too.. so they have all these i puts from commies to fuck up games.
