No capcom?

Their games are extremely diverse.

No Valve?

I’m hoping the end of this is these guys RETURN TO TRADITION and only play Chess.

Chess

The FEMALE is the most powerful unit on the board?!!! Real Sigmas only play tic tac toe frothingfash

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

Holy shit that makes me think that if chess was invented today, they'd totally call it woke.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

The most powerful piece used to be the vizier and all of the pieces were white until Gary Chess hired Sweet Baby Inc. to advise on it.

Anyone with more creativity then this guy is clearly woke.

[–] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 32 points 6 months ago

its just one guy who's listed like two dozen games he doesnt like lol

I know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

[–] pastalicious@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

The secret first question is always “is the game fun?” And if it is sufficiently fun they won’t l list it because it invalidates their argument that diversity ruins games.

smh when will John DEI stop injecting woke gender into games? somebody's gotta stop him.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Capitalism ruining games in the name of generating infinite shareholder value? Nope must be the gay or brown character in my video game. Definitely that.

Real "peasants blaming each other because they haven't reached the grain quota the lord demanded" hours

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What does DEI stand for? I've seen some people using the acronym but I haven't really listened to what they said.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

Thanks, that's nice!

[–] DEAD_YUCKY@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

USUALLY THE E MEANS EQUITY

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Isn't DEI specifically a hiring thing? What the fuck does that have to do with the content of a video game? Are they just using it as the new "woke" now?

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

Going about my extremely manly job of being a lumberjack but I can't cut down this particular tree because a woman once leaned against it while sighing wistfully and thinking about life. Miss me with that gay shit.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

thanks for the recs Breeze in the Clouds looks amazing. Also maybe I'll check out Goodbye Volcano High.

The answer is simple - all gmers/gmes/g*me devs get the wall dont @ me

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I understand from the other replies that this is about "wokeness in games" type stuff, but what does DEI actually stand for? I figure 'D' is diversity?

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

diversity, equity, and inclusion

[–] Adhriva@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No DEI in games is how you get unmodded Rome 2. I ain’t going back to that!

;)

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

but fr though cant go back to vanilla after dei its just so much better just for the population mechanic alone

Make a crawler that just rips this site's data and use it to make a site called "Games to Play Because I'm Not A B*tch"
