In March, the doctor discussed an interesting topic with everyone, that is, "Let European and American manufacturers develop Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, what will become of Tifa and Iris"? I have to say that in recent years, the heroines in many games have become more and more ugly in order to cater to the needs of some people, and at the same time, many overseas media will wantonly criticize those normal products, such as: "Star Blade" and so on.
For the average player, we hate the above things, and the face model is very beautiful, but the model in the game is obviously deliberately transformed. I believe that many people in front of the screen are like doctors, who can think of a solution without threshold, that is, "boycott". That's right, players can not buy or care about those game products that are related to the so-called rainbow culture and awakening culture, and the developers (or publishers) should make changes, right?
Recently, the well-known producer of "World of Warcraft" "Mark Kern (social nickname Grummz)" also called on players in the community to refuse to buy those triple-A masterpieces with "problems", it only takes two years (not to play forever), and the phenomenon of the heroine getting uglier and uglier will definitely improve! Selling at a high price in the name of a service type and so on can be regarded as a substitute for many ordinary players.
"Mark Kern" not only proposed a solution, but also revealed the reasons behind why it only took "two years" to solve the problem. He pointed out that there are two main reasons for the "diversity" of many games today (mainly in Europe and the United States): one is that game companies are accepting ESG-based investments, and the other is that the development team itself is the one who supports diversity. The doctor went to check it, ESG is actually the abbreviation of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance, which is an indicator to measure the performance of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
The concept of ESG itself is very good, and it is an important indicator of sustainable development, but it becomes bad when mixed with certain cultures. In the gaming industry, in order to reduce risks, many manufacturers choose to introduce ESG investment, and since they are asking for money, they have to make some "changes" that have nothing to do with the content of the game itself. Now, "Mark Kern" tells us that ESG investors' money is not unlimited, and according to many of his friends (all of whom are owners of game companies and studio heads), games still need to make money, and there is no way to continue to rely solely on the so-called DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) approach.
To put it simply, whether you have a diverse team of people on your development team or a product with diverse content, players will always have to pay for the game. If you don't buy triple-A games from studios made up of Awakened activists and full of Awakening content, you can solve the core problem!"Mark Kern" adds: Go play the old games in your Steam collection! You have a lot of games that you bought on sale but never played, go play them now, or go back to small indie games! Within two years, everything will change.
Only when the game manufacturers feel the "pain" will they lay off the worst-performing employees, who are usually activists of a certain culture, or bastards who have only come in after getting wet. When the game company's products stop selling money, the top management will reflect that if the main reason is found to be the so-called diversified content, they will give up ESG funds. Okay, now that the solution has been found and a new difficulty is in front of everyone, will players boycott a game because of the addition of a black man or a female character who has become ugly?
