Is Diversity in developers important when making video games?
CDPR "Importance of Diversity"

i've seen a lot of businesses start doing this
they post yearly diversity reports that breaks down how diverse their staff is with charts and graphs and shit
Just make a game that fits your original idea without pandering to anyone, and people will buy it & you'll be a successful developer.
I see a lot of developers going down this whole "diversity is our strength etc etc" route
Is it just somehow immensely profitable somehow and we are all just retards for not getting it or is it some other reason??? If so what is it???
It's about getting everyone of all backgrounds and colors involved so the product ends up with unique perspectives and ideas
But ultimately it ends up looking like pic related. This was from ProPublica's "how diverse we are" post. ProPublica is a leftist journalist site.
the important thing you need to keep in mind is that middle management and human resource positions in large companies are almost always held by complete retards and mindless drones. They don't do things because they make sense or are profitable. They do things because other people are doing them.
>Is Diversity in developers important when making video games?
not in the slightest
get people with skill, not people with noses as wide as their mouths
Write a letter.
>The one change the demo did have is you could now play as male V as well. I was interested to see that regardless of the gender you always seem to wake up in the morning with a male companion.
>Weber: In this demo at least you will always wake up to another man, so we can show different kinds of relationships will be part of the game, and players will be able to choose what kind of character they want to play.
>2 fucking years since cdpr showed faggot v getting fucked in the ass
>2 fucking years
>CDPR STILL FUCKING REFUSE TO SHOW STRAIGHT MALE V FUCKING A WOMAN
FAGGOTPUNK
I really don't think theres anything wrong with wanting to be able to fuck a dude when you're a dude and vise versa, its not new in video game RPGs and it makes sense so far into the future
unpopular opinion on Yas Forums I know
>only faggot shit allowed
>no straight male content
it's fucking retarded
it literally said in your image that theres straight romance though
>"everyone will"
>fucking call out faggot shit
>fucking call out lesbian shit
>fucking refuse to talk bout straight male content
lmao no it didn't fucking moron fucking retarded faggot
If the workplace doesn't smell like a zoo there is something wrong.
>"everyone will get an equal of amount"
when speaking about romantic options via the post above it
user im not going to argue when you cant read
CAN YOU FUCKING READ YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT WHERE THE FUCK DOES IT SAY STRAIGHT MALE CONTENT YOU RETARDED FUCKING COCKSUCKER
>"everyone will"
>fucking call out faggot shit
>fucking call out lesbian shit
>fucking refuse to talk bout straight male content
its kind of like when the mafia forces small business owners to pay them in return for "protection", companies have to praise diversity so journos and activists will leave them alone
Seek professional help
you're a literal schizo and need to go back to actually imagine thinking that there will be no straight romance in a game that showed it in the fucking trailer
you are a brainlet of the highest order
>and it makes sense so far into the future
>make sense
>faggotry
>make sense
Faggotry always happens prior to the downfall of civilization because when you enable the mentally ill that's what happens.
It would perfect to have this shit in the worst year of recession of the past 200 years (already official) other than the videogame crash. Pure poetry.
>faggot shit needs confirmation
>lesbian shit needs confirmation
>tranny shit needs confirmation
>straight male content? ummm that's problematic sweaty
fuck you fucking faggot ass homo
>actually imagine thinking that there will be no straight romance in a game that showed it in the fucking trailer
IT DIDN'T SHOW SHIT YOU FUCKING LYING FAGGOT FUCKING FAGGOT ASS CUNT SHOW ME WHERE THE FUCK IT SHOWED STRAIGHT MALE V FUCKING A WOMAN YOU FUCKING LYING BITCH FAGGOT PIECE OF SHIT
Yes, different ideas and perspectives is really important in a environment were creativity is key.
You are not acting like an adult when you post this childish stuff. This is embarrassing and it's a pretend culture war you are making the center of your life
getting more mad than usual tonight, elefat
Sure.
>claims cdpr showed straight male v fucking a woman
>deflecting like little lying cunts cause you know you're full of shit
fucking cdpr shills fucking lying cunts
great, now the shill posts come out, another mentally stable post
stop having a melty and get a grip on reality, please
It's a concept based on the racist idea that everyone who belongs to the same race, sex, religion or sexual preference thinks exactly the same so you need to get more shades of brown if you want any kind of variation.
In reality is just corporate speak, I have no idea why, most likely propaganda. You can have a company that's 95% white and still call yourself "diverse", depending on how good your community manager is.
Also there are studies that show that selecting people based on their skin color or sex instead of merit leads to bad results, imagine my shock.
Seek help schizo and stalk some random fags on twitter less
still don't see your fucking evidence for what you claim you fucking cunt i post direct quotes from the devs official interviews and screenshots you fucking bitch you don't got shit to back up your faggot lies
why not spam that splinter cell copypasta you like? that usually makes you feel better
They're afraid of government fining them or being sued or getting bag publicity for not being diverse enough
Every day that passes I see more signs that CDRP is becoming like any other big tech company. The day they start banning people over "problematic" opinions I'll know it's over.
it's female job because some industries, like gaming, physics, construction,finance, are male dominated.
>still refuse to show evidence backing up claims
cause you know it's a fucking lie you dumb cunts
>actually imagine thinking that there will be no straight romance in a game that showed it in the fucking trailer
fucking lying piece of shit
It is profitable in the sense that it helps to insulate a company from accusations of racism, sexism, etc, thereby protecting the company from boycotts by frothing leftists. I know it is difficult to accept, but the world has degraded to the point where a company's stances on race, feminism, and other issues can have a larger impact on profit than the quality of the product.
Protip: This is a great way to know which companies to short. Wasting time on money on useless virtue signaling does not make for a strong company.
>post facts
>leftard immediately deflects
Why does this happen and why does leftard like this always diagnosed with mental illness?
Yup, the REEEE-ing retards at Yas Forums never realize that gaymen is a barren world as a dude, as 95% of your colleagues, are in fact, men.
>things need to be profitable or else it shouldn't belong in a company
spotted the 5 year old NEET
>or is it some other reason
Please explain this connection, with proof/links lol
oh my god you retard it's a demo you can roleplay as a straight man if you want when the game launches
>oh my god you retard it's a demo you can roleplay as a straight man if you want when the game launches
2 fucking years after showing faggot v getting assfucked cdpr still haven't fucking shown straight male v fucking a woman you dumb cunt you fucking fags can't deny that all you do is deflect and cope you fucking faggots
actually, if you want to sell your game to women as well, it might not hurt having a couple of those on board.
It's also proven that monosexual teams tend to fuck up spectacularily or become depressed when it's just one sexe filling the ranks.
>We believe that diversity enrichs...
They are from Poland which must be the least diverse country in the world.
I never claimed anything, I honestly only entered this thread because you were making a spectacle of yourself
I've never played a CDPR game, I only really play From Soft and old WRPGs these days, instead of getting at irrational garbage I spend my time on stuff I enjoy
off your meds again huh?
Oh look, females being insufferable cancer. Again. Must be one of those rare days ending in -day.
>I never claimed anything, I honestly only entered this thread because you were making a spectacle of yourself
>actually imagine thinking that there will be no straight romance in a game that showed it in the fucking trailer
fucking lying faggot
>Yes, different ideas and perspectives is really important in a environment were creativity is key.
No it's fucking not. All the best art is created by a singular vision.
Exposing yourself to a diverse selection of art is great for inspiration, but the act of creation of art is only hindered by diversity of perspective.
>I only really play From Soft and old WRPGs these days
You are trying so hard to fit that it is sad.
prove me wrong bitch cdpr still haven't fucking shown straight male v fucking a woman 2 FUCKING YEARS AFTER SHOWING FAGGOT V GETTING FUCKED IN THE ASS
>The one change the demo did have is you could now play as male V as well. I was interested to see that regardless of the gender you always seem to wake up in the morning with a male companion.

>company
>not always remain profitable
You retards are never gonna make it.
How many members of its staff are dickgirls?
Seriously though, are they letting you access the internet unsupervised again?
Maybe they take adventage of wage gaps, so that's why it's profitable.
And the Witcher game series is anything but diverse looking at their dev team, so why the fuck does this happened now?
basically, these people in the late 00s / early 10s actually influenced goverments and changed laws ect.
you basically get government grants and other benefits for more rare people who work for you.
in the uk if your film/movie/tv show only has british people in it cannot be nominated for a bafta.
They were always shit and I never understood how they got such a big kiss ass fanbase.
gamesindustry.biz
and the Witcher sucks as a series
>company with over 1 person, running at 100% efficiency and
You have no clue, do you?
At this point it's just social justice brownie points. Diversity in its true is good in general, it brings people from different backgrounds together to create something they wouldn't otherwise could. A team that has two engineers, two language experts and one writer is obviously much more versatile than five engineers. The biggest problem with these retarded fucks is they don't understand that just having whites, blacks and Asians from California is not diversity, it's just three different phenotypes. Now, if we take a white coder from London, a black poetry expert from Russia and a half-Japanese linguist from Tokyo, we create not only a diverse international team, we get diversity of thought as well. It only works if each of them hired by merit first and foremost of course. Those sjw fucks don't even get how retarded and American centric their ideology is.
And yet here you are. Absolute cringe lad
oh? you literally are a schizo? okay
i've been here since 2008 retard, fuck off
But why?
Can't they see everything went to shit the moment they introduced this diversity bullshit?
Boy you sure like saying fag a lot, that demo must've awakened something in you, dont worry i'm sure an alt-right modtard will make a mod that only allows straight romance, that way you won't be tempted while playing ;))
he's not, he's been out of his mind since 2018
White allies are cancer
Yep never gonna make it.
make what? Most companies over 100 people have maybe 40% or less on primary process, nitwit :D
Why are leftards the most gullible retard on the planet?
But it didn't.
Because of this. The top people making the decisions are still, of course, white males. They just have to work overtime now.
Idk it can help sometimes in hilariously stupid ways. And especially when it comes to things like overall design and direction it does help go have people of different backgrounds to help give you a real feel for things.
Some rich white kid with a great education might be an amazing programmer, but how does that help you when you're trying to design a level around New York ghettos?
Also for every technical job in a company theres like 10 non technical jobs needed to keep things running. You need accountants, lawyers, janitorial staff, HR , marketing, artists, managers, custodial staff to take care of buildings, people to shitpost on Yas Forums, etc.. it's not like all of those need some super advanced background and often in things like HR or marketing diversity is extremely helpful because it increases the range in your marketing capabilities.
Yes but not in the way SJWs mean it.
What's important in games is VARIETY: Having a wide range of cultural, artistic, and lifestyle expierences to infuence and inform games so they aren't pidgeonholed into specific ideas and concepts and visual styles: I think the majority of people, even on Yas Forums, would be into vidya taking place in the Aztec Empire, see pic; or African mythology or even a game which uses themes of what it's like to grow up as a girl or being gay in some oppressive islamic country: Those would all be unqiue, underultiized ideas with potential for cool stuff.
The problem is that the people asking for diversity in games don't care about this: They care about it in terms of just wanting representation. There's nothing wrong with this inherently either, and to an extent super young kids do benefit from having role models that matches themselves, but this is massively over-estimated as something important outside of that and is largerly just virtue signalling that they care about progressive social issues involving race/sex/gender etc.
Moreover, it also allows them an easy out of actually making fundamentally different expierences: If it's about representation and not variety, they can just add a few extra black people or women compared to what they'd otherwise do and call it a day without actually making games with fundamentally different themes or concepts: It'll be the same generic third person modern surfival action game, just with a few more minorities.
That being said, I do think that many developers do legitmately care about diversity in terms of both representation AND variety, and there IS legitmately a problem of publishers and executives nixxing anything that has women or minorities in lead roles, but pushing for diversity of representation isn't changing that since it just causes those execs to do what I just mentioned anyways, not fund or support fundamentally new game ideas.
because they believe they are making the world a better place.
they dont understand places like china/africa/middle east dont give a fuck about this shit and wont become like us in 100 years time.
they will still be 100% ethnically native but usa/europe will be a giant pot of shit.
>if you hate faggot shit it means you're a closet fag
>only faggots are real straight men
the fucking go to faggot defense lmao you dumb fucking cunt fuck off with your retardation cocksucker
It feels like they're talking about some independent porn game that desperately tries to appeal to everybody
>he keeps posting bullshit
Yep he's digging that rabbit hole deeper
ok CFO of BigBrain Industries, why don't you tell me how the cleaning lady directly increases profit. Go on, I'll wait.
Well for starters you don't hire a programmer to do a level designer's job
>It feels like they're talking about some independent porn game that desperately tries to appeal to everybody
>everybody
nah only to fags hahahaha
They're doing this because they know the game's going to be shit so they want good publicity beforehand to cushion it a little.
Underrated.
