Clearly there is no agenda. I’ve been attacked or called a snowflake for “whining” about a gay character. I simply questioned the over representation. As for trans, that is a legit mental disorder and it’s seems that’s all who gets hired by gaming companies
What sane employees would spend 100’s of hours a week coding for minimal pay? Game companies are too stingy to pay good devs and usually have a ton of turnover but the people that stay for those bread crumbs are the only people thinking they are heroes on the front lines winning an impossible battle.
The companies, in turn, get to save that money that should go into a salary, good project leads, promotions for good employees, or PTO and instead promote gay slop so the employees remember how “important” they/them are so they won’t ask for more than the comfortable amount of bread crumbs.
Young starry-eyed graduates who think it's the coolest job in the world and have enough energy to work 80+ hour weeks for a lousy salary that's still better than food service.
Then they burn out after a couple years and need at least a whole year to restore their health. But hey, they got to work on a AAA title!
Yep and they just refuse to accept that lgbt pushed to a mass audience doesn’t work. A well written story with someone who happens to be gay works every now and then but just like the rest of the trifecta (lgbt/black/girl power) I’m so tired of it being pushed.
It’s over the top absurd how they see themselves as some grand heroes fighting injustice
