>>34208I disagree, SBI, seems to me like an company for mainly narrative game writing, but game companies are outsourcing this like in other industries, every piece of labour increasingly divided and marketized/commodified than it is, a bit insufficient, as surely you could hire in-house staff at a cheaper rate, and get cultural experts etc…
I've nothing against DEI, since it is in my material interests, however SBI relative to DEI, I believe that games that have stories with minorities; SBI comes in and helps out with making sure things are culturally appropriate and sensitive, in a sense politically correct, this is for the sake of business, and aligns with interests of avoiding backlash or controversy.
SBI relative to DEI and game companies, all these things related, seems to be logical business sense, to make sure writing does not receive backlash and controversy (look at stellar blade and the correct accusations of sexism), in our modern world, however with neoliberalism of course even game writing has to be outsourced and even further divided as labour.
Your claims about a conspiracy I doubt, this is simply business, this is simply capitalists abiding by their own interests.
