Listening to this at work was a mistake. How can I work smart with this idiotic trash. Good games are made by making a good story and game play not push social political trash that most dont need or want... Most of this sht most people will never notice...,(reply>), @Thomas Eastman That is correct. Awards help sales, so they're a good way to provide incentives on how to create something good. If you're going to rig your awards for a criteria that doesn't really affect a game's quality, such as the composition of characters, you're going to place incentives and energy where you can get awards instead of where you can make a good game.<br>Of course, no incentive is stronger than sales, but an award could help guide new developers on how they can create something better and stronger. These new guidelines are counter intuitive to that.,(reply>), @Thomas Eastman Because the awards were rigged like this? If not, then it was because it was an achievement in storytelling, not in political pandering.
