Already Gamasutra wrote a "follow-up" article to the one I posted in the OP. Of course, sourcing Jason/Twitter for all of itI refuse to believe that any podcast involving Jason Schreier would be anything other than absolute shite whether or not there was "a woman" involved.
Good and better are subjective and it's actually hilarious that he doesn't name the individual. It was good, we added "a woman", it was now better. Sure.
Also a troubling insight into the industry if this is how things are going to go.
Someone sets up a new game studio and wants to announce to the world.
Immediately gets dragged based on assumptions about their recruitment process.
How unbelievably toxic must this industry be if simply posting a picture of yourself and your new team attracts negative attention before you have even developed a single game.
So these guys now have a negative narrative being spun about them among the gaming press before they have even made a game and that narrative will follow them around now.
This is not a healthy situation!
Hate hate the press so much. Look how they tie/invoke the Activision Blizzard fiasco to this thing. It's fucking insanity.That interview included a photo of the mostly-white, mostly-male development team that makes up the foundation of the company.
Shortly after publishing, Bloomberg games reporter Jason Schreier cited the photo tweeting, “It’s pretty wild that in 2021 a new game studio still looks like this.”
It was a succinct indictment of a game industry infamously regarded as a boy's club, coming at time when major game companies and notable men in video game development are embroiled in widespread controversy, not the least of which is World of Warcraft maker Activision Blizzard being sued by the state of California over a toxic culture and sexual harassment.
What followed was an online brawl and mini-reckoning as developers and press weighed in on social media, highlighting the stark imbalance between white men and marginalized groups within the game industry. While gender balance is improving year on year, a recent Game Developers Conference State of the Industry survey noted 73% of the game industry is men, 21% were women, and 3% non-binary.
In response to the criticism, Hutchinson claimed that Schreier was “trolling” the Raccoon Logic team.
Schreier is going through this thread and checking usernames for matching Twitter accounts to block.
That's a very complex premise for them to process. Too many words and dots to connect. SJWs are usually low attention span idiots. That's why they are SJWs.Hey little twit white man, Jason. Let me tell you a story...
My wife is a black woman (how's that for intersectionality). She works in the tech industry as a producer. She was once asked by her boss to lead a project because the customer specifically asked for a black producer as a lead. Not only was it a horrifically awkward conversation with her boss, my wife felt humiliated by being chosen to fill a race quota instead of being chosen on the basis of merit alone.
Contrary to your shitty leftist-leaning ideology, minorities like us black folk don't actually want to be recognised purely on the basis of our skin colour or gender or gender expression or sexual orientation. We want to actually be able to take pride in the fact that we earned our place and positions in the workplace on merit alone.
Why is that so difficult to grasp?
Actually China is slowly changing its mind. Woman are now being more integrated into male dominant fields: IT, military, police, engineering.When Stack Overflow has female devs at only 3.3% it's not really surprising to see such a photo being male dominated. Art, story, management etc might fair differently and open up more diversity while still hiring great people but when a studio is starting out you want like minded people, skills, singular vision, cohesive team, culture etc. As the company grows beyond 10-20 people you'll see far more diversity of roles and staff.
What exactly is stopping women from forming a studio with the mantra of only hiring women? Would anyone complain about an all female or minority race studio? No, why do the reverse? I don't see shit like diversity happening in India or China for example. They very much shun outside cultures far more thant the western world. Where's you hit piece on that Jason?
Just get out and start your own shit, hire your own people how you see fit and get off your ass instead of knocking others down who create something from nothing. Jason is a twat with easy to write articles with high clicks, I refuse to click such a link.
Yep, I see that with my outsourcing, the Chinese women are more in project management, admin, CS roles over dev or art though. Not that I go to China for my art stuff. Pure code outsourcing there for me.Actually China is slowly changing its mind. Woman are now being more integrated into male dominant fields: IT, military, police, engineering.
This motherfucker is such a leech. He has fun talking shit about others, playing the "good guy" card. He deserves to be sued to hell, leaving him in the shit... but I bet this motherfucker would still find a way to cry on twitter about other studios "wrong-doings".
We are in 2021, there is no reason for not knowing at least one bipoc to join your studio (I don't know what bipoc is, they just get thrown around to push the woke agenda).Genuine question but if I decided to start a videogame company with my friends and we all happened to be white dudes, it shouldn't be allowed? It seems these people are saying pretty much that.
He said "we added a woman". He didn't even say "We added Jessica" or something like that, to imply she is a person. He doesn't care about anything other than a pair of tits and a vagina.i don't see anything even mildly objectionable in that tweet

I mean, I'm talking based on some things I know from older people and from my office.You've not been here as long as I have, there were always women in these fields. You've seen enough women construction workers already right?
But it's not about equality, it's about making money. If a woman in China is prepared to dig ditches and lift bricks then she is in.
Why do people care so much about what scrubs on Twitter say?
I remember hearing about Jonestown (Jim Johnson) back in the day and not understanding how so many people could drink the literal and figurative cool aid.
Those were simpler times.
This is probably more true that we think.Jason Schreier is the kid that got bullied but now gets to bully people under the cove of his job.

Again, Pronouns/Rainbow/BLM in profile bio... It's a comedy skit. Also a game dev that no one has ever heard of naturally. We'll see if this "proudly-diverse-non-cis-het" team will make anything of value.
I expect something along the lines of this:We'll see if this "proudly-diverse-non-cis-het" team will make anything of value.
The guy in the lower right is totally giving me these vibes
I see two women and three Asian dudes. Everyone else is a white male. To reach their woke quota, they probably all identify as queer.
To post a classic.

Did Jason Shrierererer just assume the gender of all those people?
He is known for being a massive pussy. He practically blocks people as much as he types on his computer.His account now says he's limiting who can view his tweets. That's not the same as being blocked, so I am disappointed in him.
