I guess they are seeing what is happening to other DEI-heavy games. Pendulum swung too far into one direction and it’s starting to come back.
Yall can dislike all you want, but we all know a lot of people out there are not fans of DEI ideology. You can say they are wrong, you can say they are immoral, but that doesn’t change the fact people have started to have serious negative feelings towards DEI stuff - and companies are noticing it.
Companies want money, they don’t give a shit about DEI. They only have a shit about it when it was beneficial to them and their pocket. DEI went hard when it used to pump their stock cause ESG and shit - it ain’t like that no more. People are starting to dislike it and it’s only gonna get more intense.
As time goes on DEI will be affecting company earnings negatively more and more - and thus they will stop the DEI stuff. SIMPLE.
It’s true and we all know it. Love or hate DEI - it’s increasingly declining, and the simple reason is - common man ain’t a fan of it.
Fuck off, bigot.
I always chuckle when I hear/see the B world. lol It vibes like yall are afraid to use other insults so you use the B word for everything. Bitgot this, bitgot that, you are a bigot, they are bigots, everyone who is not left is a bigot. lol

Other DEI heavy games like LoL, that have been wildly successful for years.
That’s true. Also look at Marvel Rivals.
Going out of your way to not include “any social or political agenda” is a social and political agenda.
It’s also fucking impossible if you’re telling a game with any kind of narrative at all. Based on Lords of the Fallen though, saying their games had a narrative is indeed a stretch.
Say what you will about the woke gaming agenda, I love to see a company brave enough to take this stance. It’s refreshing to see a publisher wear its beliefs on its sleeve because now I know that I don’t have to spend money on their trash games
City Interactive and trash games have always been synonymous. They shortened their name to get rid of the mountain of trash they have produced, but it’s not working.
In all honesty, I don’t care if a game has an agenda. Just if it’s relevant and well written
Promises not to include any social or political agendas. Continues to promote carnism.
What would DEI even mean for this game? It looks like it’s about hooded and masked figures killing baddies in a medieval world.
It means no black people or women in power
Obligatory:
There are only two skin colors: White and political.
Two genders: Male and political.
Two sexual orientations: Straight and political.
Two religious beliefs: Christian and political.
Etc. pp.
If it doesn’t, then it’s not really art, it’s it? It’s just a mass-market commercial product.
Even the Avengers movies, everyone’s favorite garbage media, include social and political commentary.
It’s already not art and just mass market commercial products.
Let’s be honest, the companies allowed inclusion of the DEI and social/political commentary because they didn’t think it mattered not becuase they actually care about such issues. Now they think it might affect the bottom line they don’t want their devs doing it anymore. But they were hardly marketing and selling games based on this stuff.

No. They included this stuff because they thought it would make them more money. Now they think excluding it will make them more money.
It was always about the bottom line.
Cool, so, boring ass games with just straight white men and bimbos, because that’s not politics, that’s the default.
I can’t wait until companies realize that they’re scared of the biggest pussies on earth, conservative white men.
Young men have an absurd amount of cultural attention right now. It’s mainly that cohort swinging hard to the right. Some others are even swinging left.
Good, I stand with them 100%. This Dei stupidity has gone far enough
Sir you can’t have this opinion on Lenmy/reddit. I fully agree with you that this forced DEI bs has to stop, but you can not say this stuff here without being down voted. Once again, I fully agree with you, this can’t blow over soon enough.
Thanks, and I don’t care about all the leftists/activists that live in their enclosed world that think that DEI works when it’s proven, in every company and product made, that it doesn’t.
Let them keep crying 😂
Windshield wipers were invented by a woman.
Automatic elevator doors were invented by a Black man.
Alan Turning.
But tell me again how diverse people don’t make successful products?
There’s not a point in arguing with fascists, they didn’t reach their worldview through an observation of reality and you won’t deprogram them over the internet.
For another matter, chances are these two idiots are just one idiot with a sock puppet.
Hahahaha
I love that you people call everyone who doesn’t agree with you a fascist.
It’s pathetic, and again, shows how closed minded you are if you can’t accept that not everyone has to agree with EVERYTHING you believe in.
Not with everything. That’s you trying to muddy the waters. They just have to agree that hatred has no place in our shared culture.
Lmao… And you calling everyone who doesn’t agree with your values a fascist ISN’T hatred as well?
Open your eyes and ears.
Lmaooo Why are you bringing up women? 😂😂
You think because we don’t like the current implementation of DEI that it means we hate women and diversity?
This shows which side really has the closed mind. Try to stop judging, you’ll all live happier lives.
Im just suck of the forced DEI crap in our entertainment products. There is nothing wrong with it, unless it’s forced like it has been for the last couple of years only to hit a checkbox for that sweet dei money.
Yeah, exactly. Like stop forcing these straight white man stories on me and making it so political, right? Like go kiss someone your color with different parts in your own bedroom. I have no problem with what kinda freaky cis stuff you do in private, where I don’t have to see it, not participating in my society, or being acknowledged and allowed to be a living existing person. No problem with you at all.
100%.
They don’t realize that DEI is now “Inclusion for me, exclusion for thee”
They’re just happy that they get their own space, and everyone else is excluded.
It’s ironic, as before they were complaining that they weren’t part of the group. Now they get invited, and they kick out the original people.
Hypocrites!
Whos getting kicked out?
No one, this guy is just a immature person with no grasp on facts or reality.
