Just like Gamergate was a fucking stupid endeavour, this whole farce over a consultancy firm is going to be a whole load of nothing, just another grift by a bunch of industry has-beens like Grummz to explain why nobody likes them.
In an era of games like Boltgun, the Borderlands series, and the resurgence of DOOM (including a new game in the old engine, Selaco) pissing and moaning "them libruls made me game woke" makes you look like a fucking troglodyte.
No, they didn't ruin Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League, WB did just like they ruined a whole slew of things like Cartoon Network, Supergirl, and a ton of their own properties. They wanted a Detsiny-like games-as-a-service from some of the best single-player developers out there, and constantly interfered in development. Tales of Kenzera: Zau is the latest target, and I'm sorry, but if you're telling me the heartfelt project by "voice of Bayek" Abubakar Salim to honour his dad was somehow ruined by consultants when EA published it I worry about your ability to function.
And I mean, look. Everything you need to know about this bollocks is summarised by that dumb Steam list. The only game they recognise as good is, well, shit. Just another 2D shooter with some political shit shoehorned in to make a point, like a really shit Shadow Complex. Read the reviews that aren't "mah hat sez MAGA an I endoors this gem" and you'll find a pattern: controls are shit, poorly built, garbage. If that's the "answer to DEI" as the list proclaims, then maybe just maybe that should be enough of a reality check for you.
