Steam curator warns players if Sweet Baby is involved in a game

Not to mention they went for the most fucking vulnerable and easy target imaginable when Akira Toriyama died.
A fucking dead body who has no chance to counter-argue.
That was their target
They should STFU, seriously. Everything they say is projection.

It's even crazier when you realize that as "sensitivity consultants", their job is literally to make sure you work does not offend the audience.

If you look the defenition of "Backfire" in the dictionary, theres a pic of chris kindred.
You can also see how gaming "journalist" are not really journalists when they report this situation by hidding the fact chris was the one that started an harrasment campaign not only against the steam group but also targeted his creator in hopes his personal steam account with hundreds of games would be banned.

Yeah they were trying to punish him personally. That’s what was so fucked up about it.

Exactly, also, when the forum at the SBI Detected Steam page was open someone did a survey to find out where we were from and it turned out that a lot of us were not American (me included).

We have a guy like this in the last Stellar Blade thread. This vermin is everywhere.
"No big deal" Yeah, that's why the GOVERNMENTS of the two richest countries of the Western world are directly involved in this.
Because it's not a big deal, remember.

The left does define far right by now many issues you’re conservative on, but how easy they can negotiate away your positions.
If you’re conservative on all your issues but willing to negotiate on all of them, you’re a “conservative”, if there’s even one issue you will draw a line and will not budge, you’re a far right wing extremist to them.
Trump’s positions is very much a mix, he certainly no right wing ideologue, but on a few things, such as immigration, he is stridently immovable, and that’s all it takes.
I'm going to take an educated guess Alyssa Mercante has never lived in a bad area of a city. She would easily find out that racism knows no color.
If she does live in a city and has experience racism targeted at her, she most likely ignored it and gave an excuse to the POC that treated her that way.
This is an extreme example but if she wants to experience true racism from a marginalized group, go talk to the Black Israelites of Philadelphia,
I grew up on the outskirts of Philadelphia, I would skateboard down there during the mid 90's. These fine gentleman above would banter on about their racist views. When we would skate near where they would set up their soap boxes, you would get called every insult over a loud speaker (honky, cracker, and some other colorful words).
If she took five minutes out of her day and just went and searched for on the internet what she is denouncing, she would find out that she is wrong within the first couple of minutes.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is the revolution. Everything is subordinate to that cause. That's how you have so-called feminists defending men winning honor and prize money by wining women's sporting events, at the expense of real women. They never cared about women, and they don't care about minorities, they only care about winning their Marxist revolution.

She wouldn’t care because it doesn’t fit with her agenda. Also they are black so to her they can’t be racist. Only white people are racist so this would just be ignored by her.I'm going to take an educated guess Alyssa Mercante has never lived in a bad area of a city.

Co-founder’s post on LinkedIn. Fails to mention that they started the harressment with “report the fuck out of him” and “he loves his account let’s get him banned”. Scum playing the victim card now.
Nice to see some comments rebutting this attempted victimhood interspersed with the usual platitudes
And he shut down comments “for now”, figures

Kinda ironic they complaint about harassment when their entire bussiness model is build on harassing gaming companies into changing their products.

she’s gone as far as to make that part of her cover photo on Twitter so she’s really embracing her stupid belief that you can’t be racist against whites

Seriously. This is really over a steam curator group?
Has there been any evidence of people _actually_ harassing individual devs on Discord/Twitter without being provoked first?

So... I haven't looked at Steam privacy settings in a while, can anyone confirm if you can subscribe to this curator without it being visible anywhere? Sadly I have to always carefully watch my online presence for career reasons.

They never acknowledge that this was all started by a Sweet Baby Inc employee trying to get a Steam user banned. Or they know, and just pretend otherwise.

Imagine being so dense that your efforts to destroy a relatively unknown and benign steam user and his curated group, not only exponentially grows and strengthens your opponents, but now also pulls your shitty company and your circlejerk buddies into the spotlights of one of the most powerful men on earth. Well done Chris Kindred and SBI. You've all been fucking around for god knows how long, and now you and all your moron buddies are at the 'finding out' stage of precedings.
It's an own goal of simply breathtakingly epic proportions, but it's apparently everyone else's fault.

They aren't bothered in discussing the underlying issues. It's basically they are attacking my side, defend it at all costs, no questions asked. No reflection required. No understanding needed.

Honestly, good. The video game industry is due for a crash/reset. Happened in the 80s (twice) and again in the 90s. I genuinely feel bad for the in-the-trenches devs that this will inevitably affect, especially since most have little to no say in the decisions of middle and upper management.
But overall the industry is too bloated, too expensive, too many mid-tier products with AAA budgets. Too many games that require hundreds of hours of time, FOMO, continuous investment. Break-evens in the 10M+ sold. You can't just beat a game in a few weeks and move on anymore in the AAA space. Too many consultants and cooks in the kitchen.
"B-but making games is so hard and complex now!"
No it fucking isn't, we've made it harder with insane scale and scope. It's easier than _ever_ with modern-day tools. Both MS + Sony's consoles are basically the same hardware now (and are also just stripped down PCs), modern APIs and out of the box engines are a godsend compared to development for 6th gen and earlier.
Tunic? Banger, made by 1 dude
Sea of Stars? Banger by 1 dude
Lethal company? Banger by 1 dude
Stardew Valley? Banger by 1 dude
Axiom Verge 1+2? Banger by 1 dude

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Mostly correct on this list but Sabotage Studios, who made Sea of Stars, has a pretty big team

You might be thinking of Chained Echoes, which was in fact a banger and was in fact made by 1 dude

No, but they are following the predictable playbook. Sock puppet account, create content to fit thier narrative, screencap before the mods can delete it and within minutes it's posted on X as "Proof".

Racial discrimination during hiring in the US is actually a crime

Executive Order 11246 prohibits covered federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and requires affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity without regard to those factors. Executive Order 11246 is...

Not gonna lie, this controversy is pretty stupid. A classic idiocy of the masses. A company exists which offers "narrative consultation services" is apparently making games "woke". However, what people don't discuss is that it takes 2 to tango. As a company needs to see benefit in their services and actually pay money for their services. So going after the company for offering services that are not essential is just stupid. I tried to watch these videos and the way both content creators present the topic is frankly just childish. It makes it hard to watch. The funny part is that, if you read through this thread, you'd think this was one of the major issues hampering gaming today. Spoiler alert, it's not even in the top 5. Addressing this, won't address the risk aversion publishers have to big new IPs. It won't address the lack of innovation in game mechanics. It won't address the ridiculous monetization of games. It won't address the long game development timelines due to scope creep. It won't address planned obsolescence in controllers where manufactures design controllers(drift, etc) to fail to fleece the consumer base(Nintendo, Sony)
The worst thing from this apparent company is that their input leads to some games with cringe stories and cringe/shoehorned in characters. The market will punish those games as they have done the likes of Captain Marvel, Oceans 8 and etc. It's what naturally happens and it'll self correct. People complaining about the inclusion of other races in games have completely lost the plot. Companies like money and consumers like it when they can identify with characters in your game. It then logically follows that companies would try and include as many people as possible from different cultures to increase their TAM(total addressable market). Sometimes, I see why other industries like to hold their noses up in snobbery at the gaming community. People out here making an ocean out of a puddle.

She talks about being against microaggressions while being microagressive (and racist as fuck) all the while through. JFC.
Pretty sure there's workplace anti-discrimination laws in the US right? And this fucktard just recorded herself (as they always do), so ...

"I only hire whites because blacks are unsafe and its hard to work with them."
Imagine if someone, let alone a dev said that publicly
Your life would officially be over within the hour

What you’re missing is this was all set off by an employee of Sweet Baby Inc trying to get a Steam user banned. This video is much more factual without pandering to outrage engagement. I recommend it.

Fucking hell. No wonder gaming is in this state.
Colors has nothing to do with anything, but remember when a PASSIONATE team of nerds with no super management and council meetings for political correctness just fucking shook the foundations of gaming?
