Asif I give a shit about firewalk studios that have never released a game before & their first one is this shite
PlayStation State of Play Announced for May 30th
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Bro if you think cali devs aren't in tune with DEI.. lmaoIt's like @Old Gamer said, there's probably not a ton of people in the studio who really want this. Neither that nor having 7 out of the 9 human characters in their roster being women of color.
This stuff is coming from above. Just look at Microsoft Xbox's "Inclusion Framework" guidelines. Sony absolutely has their own version of this:
Product Inclusion
Accomplishing big things starts with one step - the opening of a single door. What door will YOU open today?developer.microsoft.com
Their motto is "If you don't intentionally include, you will unintentionally exclude", so imagine the pressure the devs are put into, to make sure they intentionally include everyone*.
* - everyone that matters.
And this has nothing to do with creativity. If anything most of these devs know this stifles creativity. The checklist for forced pronouns, diversity, etc. is coming from their CFOs who want cheaper loans and investment.
Maybe most of those are in tune, but it also seems to me Californian devs are a dying breed. At least I get the feeling most of the layoffs are happening there, while new studios start opening in eastern Europe like Czechia and Poland.
I was talking about e.g. Polish CDPR devs who see this on their feed:
That's an interesting program, so women there get paid sick days when on the period? Pretty good tbh, we should do that here. I bet it'd cut office drama in half.
Y'all mad about Pronouns 
Diversity because of Women of color
Damn after decades of cis white men in everything y'all mad over the dumbest shit, please grow the fuck up.
Wishing for a game to fail is also r*tarded. If you don't like it, do not support it. End of day it's still people's livelihoods at stake here, they've worked hard at the game.
The discussion around this game is so toxic for the wrong reasons.

I read several times this pic and I still don't understand what his point is...
PlayStation Studios |OT41| Preserving Democracy until the Next Showcase Sony - OT
this is what happens when you don't have very good events for years and don't even give a good schedule for events (we are still argiung about a showcase happening in september or not): people will just stop watching them and your games will not get the visibility you hoped for. Games like...www.resetera.com
What exactly is happening in their bubble?
It is indeed a good program.
While maybe most of woman don't suffer with menstruation... some part of them have periods worst than being sick.
Nobody should be forced to work in constant pain.
It is no different from you getting paid sick days for having an illness.
