During a game’s development, narrative consultants will be hired by studios to help with fleshing out or tweaking narrative elements, Kenney said. “Narrative consultants do not get final say,” Kenney reiterated. "It doesn’t get into the game if we [as the developer] don’t approve it.

“They consult. They do research, pitch ideas, give feedback, and maybe even write scripts. But none of that gets into the game unless the core dev team agrees with it. I’m going to keep saying that, because it’s key. Sweet Baby is not, nor is any consulting group, coming in to wreck games. They’re helping smooth out plots and deepen characters. They ease the burden on the core narrative team. They’re additive in every way.”

    Woke has always been around they just mad that its more common. Woke used to be sjw. And then politically correct. And other terms. And they all mean the same thing really. “to be aware of genocides, crimes against life, and injustices aginst others” if someone is against that. And they still say theyre for democracy i question their intellect. As well as their sanity. It doesnt seem that hard to understand analogies or metaphors but apparently a lot of people dont realize these things that anti politically correct and anti woke and stuff is against is literally general freedom. They dont seem to understand they are essentially saying “freedom for me but not for thee”.

    Ah well, will have to see how things go over the next 5+ years.

      They dont seem to understand they are essentially saying “freedom for me but not for thee”.

      Around my parts, the anti-vax movement during the pandemic was basically a recruitment rally for the anti-trans movement which gained traction after pandemic restrictions were phased out.

      You’d think the people who spent two years chanting about freedom would have been on team freedom for minorities… nope! Lol

      You know what, if that inclusion was done in a way that makes sense for the game and the lore then I don’t have a problem. But we have saw time and time again that they do it to have the “See me, I really care about the problem” type of thing. And I say this as an integrant of the same minorities this companies try to gain support. We don’t need a forced bullshit like this, we need just normal things and a normal inclusion without makes feel forced or unwanted.
