Why DEI is Dangerous for Modern Gaming

A lot of my casual gaming friends have no idea that DEI exists. This is dedicated to them. In this video, we dive into the increasingly controversial topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the gaming industry. While DEI initiatives aim to create more inclusive environments, they may also have unintended consequences, from stifling creativity to prioritizing diversity quotas over tal...

    Love how you gloss over the fact that - paid dlc is still missing - Content is severely lacking - Post-launch support has been terrible - They literally had to walk back updates and apologize for brain dead decision-making when it comes to game balance - People who purchased physical in some countries have been fucked by saber and still don't have their game - They promote mods for PC steam users, meanwhile console gets nothing - They can't add XYZ cool shit to the game because they have GW's arm up their ass, so they get the modders to do it for them This is literal 343 type behavior 😂

    I've grown up 40k fan since the 90s. I was extremely nervous about how this game would come out, but this was a love letter to gamers, 40k fans, and honestly male gamers. You ever noticed that Space Marines are ethier talking shit to each other or uplifting each other? That's literally how guys act. I was an infantry soldier in the Army for 8 years, and they accuracy of the dialog was amazing.

    Can't lie, after spending years hoping for a SM2 after loving the first one, I havn't bought it because SM2 just looks like style over substance. If I want gritty, grimdark epic combat, I've got Darktide. Glad 40k non-RTS computer games are finally in a good place, but this ones not for me.

      @@PaddaPlays I think that's the issue, the first one was great but it also had no similiar 40k game to compare it to. And honestly, I spent 90% of my time on SM1 playing the Exterminatus mode, which isn't due in SM2 until mid 2025. I'd honestly suggest people who love SM2 keep an eye out for Darktide going on sale, the visuals aren't as grandiose, but the combat is tiers above in terms of mechanics and 'ooomph', the skill trees/builds are far more unique and impactful than SM2s multiplayer and the soundrack is an absolute banger.

    No? Like absolutely not, SM2 has basically no replayability, the power scaling makes no sense lore wise, and the gameplay is a downgrade to the perfected 40k slaughter that is darktide, SM2 is a dissapointment, with annoying combos, nonsensical writing, and just plain bad gameplay, it is one of the worst 40k games we have gotten in a while, hell even boltgun is better, SM2 is soulless and boring, one of the first games I removed from my account on steam without a refund just because I was so pissed at this poor excuse of a game, don’t get hyped over it just cuz we got a 40k game for once that looks AAA, it’s disgraceful, and an insult to long time warhammer fans, whoever let em cook, take the fkn kitchen away

    As spot-on as most of this is, I'm downvoting it because of the racist DEI whining. I'm so tired of hearing that racist call-to-arms. You don't even have the guts to say what you mean. Maybe you're just copying what others are whining about. Maybe you're trying to be secretly racist without getting in trouble, which is really what using the term means. I don't really care, honestly. It's gross, and moreover, _it's not the actual problem._ There's nothing wrong with inclusivity in games or in the gaming industry. That's been made clear time and again by games featuring all different sorts of characters. The problem isn't the inclusivity, the problem is the devepers being the sorts of arrogant people that go out of their way to make it clear that by doing that, they're morally superior to the rest of us chuds in the audience. The hamfisted, preachy way they make everything about their diverse characters isn't about the characters at all, it's about stroking their own egos. Blame the right things The problem is not diversity in games. The problem is jackasses in positions of power, and companies that only care about increasing their target audience, regardless of means or damage to the product. Arrogance and greed, just like it always is.

Here we are lol That and most of these MF are too young or just forgot what we use to pay for. Let this sink in...
