INTERGALACTIC: THE HERETIC PROPHET - Trailer Reaction and Thoughts on This Controversy

[@BigSparkzy]

Honestly I don't know what everyone is angry about, game looks like it's gunna be a banger. Great mocap work too from the looks of it, great soundtrack. I love the aesthetics, where it feels like the 80's but in space (obviously the CD player came later, but they're flying in space ships, I can let it slide lol). Makes me want to buy a PS5 so I can play it.

Yeah I'm sure the game itself will be solid as usual when Naughty Dog delivers. But I also understand that the main majority of gamers who are into bounty hunter space action games are men, and most of these gamers are not interested in playing a character that is as it seems a pretty boring looking female atm. Yeah it's shallow but then again a cool good looking male main protagonist will always out sell most other main characters even among women gamers. Many are also worried seeing how she look that the game will be another DA Veilguard, which I also understand they have every right to be worried about. I, however, am not choosing any side, not until I've seen more gameplay and know more about the story and main purpose of why the devs went with this type of protagonist.

D.E.I. Isn't about hiring people who aren't qualified. It's about trying to bring equal opportunity for marginalized groups that more likely wouldn't get hired, despite being equally qualified.

Everyone have equal opportunity to apply to any job within any line of work as long as they have the qualifications. In my work field out on the North Sea working on oilrigs in the norweigan sector, most people out there are white men and some women. That's because there are most white men qualified for the work. DEI has also been proven to not be effective as more and more companies are moving away from it now. Mostly, it has been about leaving some groups out so others can get in, and that will never be more efficient than hiring based on pure qualifications. Instead in many cases men and also white men has men discriminated and told they can't apply to certain jobs because only women, trans people or people of color was eligible to apply, Ubisoft being one of these companies for example. While some of us want to see people with the right competence get hired, some want certain gender and skin colors. That's why there are mostly white men where I work, because we are the majority of the people with the right competence. What DEI would've done is that the people behind this nonsense would've seen companies like that and thought there was to few women, or too few people with color out there on the platforms, and then stopped the hiring process for white males. And since there aren't enough people of color or women with the same level of competence or work experience on those groups, they would have to lower the qualifications to get in. And that would've affected every standard as well as the safety standards out there. If there existed as many woman, trans people or people of color with the right competence as white males, we would've already seen a much more leveled mix between white males, women, and people of color. But the truth is, we don't. And that's what happened in almost every company that had DEI on their throats. That is why as I wrote, more and more companies are moving away from it. The quality goes down with DEI. And that's just the facts.
