I was reading an article on IGN yesterday and was moved to comment after I read another comment. This is all in regards to the big game "Concord" that Sony recently released and folks are crying "Go woke go broke and accusing the developers of catering to diversity and saying this is why the game failed. Also supposedly a developer said something about purposely leaving out white folks in the character line up but since I have not seen any actual links to this I take it as a grain of sand. The other thing is I keep hearing folks say that there are all kinds of advantages for lgbt or people of color yet personally this is a stretch. There are programs to help everyone if you know where to look but even then there is no secret guaranteed way of getting ahead (that I know of)
The character designer trolled white guys and didn't put them in on purpose, immediately alienating a whole lot of gamers, he said “Whites Must Acknowledge Their Privileged Position, And Then Actively Work For Equality”
Nothing has ever gone well when you push the buttons of the white man. Idk why companies throw 200-300million at the attempts.
Though, honestly, since these politics weren’t around in 2016 when the game began - it leads me to believe the game ran dry on funds and had to sign the deal with the devil to stay afloat. (8 years of paying devs and engineers and marketing specialists industry standard for their bachelors and masters degrees - a TON of money).

I'm white, had the worst life imaginable, I got no extra privileges to help me up..yet I see the darker brothers spit on that same help, and refuse to change.. they only privilege that exists, is for woman, black people, (in my country they get free education) and lgbt , rich people, and the well connected..
I'm black and lgbt and have had to work like hell for any little bit of happiness in life. Its a tired stereotype that everyone in the lgbt community is all wonderful towards each other and connected. Also I catch more grief from other black folks because I don't fit their stereotypes of what I should be. Meanwhile I am hated and mistrusted by other races because of images the media keeps broadcasting. I realize there are folks who get ahead in life whether its honest or by shadey means but if there is a magical advantage for people like me as so many folks believe I have not seen it. How do I get plugged in? At 55 years of life I am still asking myself that question.
