Re: 'Tales Of Kenzara: Zau' Director Addresses "Constant Targeted Harassment"

I appreciate authenticity in gaming. If this game takes place in Africa or is about African history/mythology, then I fail to see how it’s pushing an inclusive narrative just because it has a black protagonist. Nor do I see how it’s forcing diversity. It’s literally just being accurate. And moreso, who cares if the protagonist of a game is a different color, sex, or even species than you? Thats the joy of video games. Taking an avatar on an adventure that you probably can’t do yourself in real life.

I feel these people triggered by the game are the same ones who don’t want minorities or the opposite sex playing roles in film and tv that they believe are already “determined” to be white (little mermaid comes to mind). Yet now a game exists that isn’t about a white dude and they’ve lost their minds about it because it’s “being too inclusive”. 🙄🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Re: Random: Sakurai Cut Dolby Surround From Kirby Game To Trim Player Wait Time

I have a coworker like that! Lol. “Well if I take the time to do that extra entry it’s going to take 8 more seconds. And I have 3 other people on the crew. So that’s 3 times 8 and that’s 24. And then at each location we’re gonna have to do it. So that’s like ten locations a day times 24 so 240 seconds extra. But hey, I’ll do it if you want, I’m just saying it’s going to cost you time”. Though that guys excuse is laziness and getting out of work rather than actually being thoughtful like Sakurai.

Re: Feature: Who Is Playtonic's Voice Of The People?

So many articles about studios shutting down. Studios cutting staff. Mergers and studios being lost in the reshuffle. The industry has become beyond depressing and is bordering apocalyptic.

So thank you very much Nintendolife and @Franw for providing us with some positivity in the gaming industry for once. And really, for industry in general. I think mental health is key to having a good functioning work environment. It’s far too often ignored and sacrificed for the almighty $$. Knowing Playtonic functions this way actually makes me want to support them even more as a company.

Again, thank you all. And keep up the good work ❤️🙏☺️
