He's describing how in order to get funding for these games, the funders make demands of "you need to hire a DEI officer or you don't get our money." He's saying the quiet part very loudly.
Haven't chuds been saying this is happening behind the scenes for years and shitlibs have been denying it?

I thought BlackRock was pretty open about their ESG requirements.

Libshits still pretend ESG isn't real (and if it was, it'd be a good thing!)

There is this weird thing where conspiracy theorists constantly act like people don't believe them and they are uncovering clandestine machinations. Meanwhile, Blackrock has a whole Commitment to DEI page.

It's not that it's clandestine. It's the motte-bailey bullshit that happens when you try explaining it to someone and the lengths they go to dismissing something as a nothing-burger until it's so blatant that they can't any more. Even something as simple as "Yes, this colossal company chose sweeping top-down social change over profit" is like squeezing blood from a stone.

But who is denying it? Blackrock is open about ESG. The only thing I've seen people claim is that ESG is just as/more profitable, but I haven't seen anyone deny that Blackrock is doing what Blackrock is clearly advertising they are doing to accolades from the typical progressive places.

I gave up bickering with people online a long time ago so I can only speak for offline. The above was my experience, albeit in a more polite and much less editorialized manner, while discussing vidya layoffs with some people a few months ago.
Admittedly I'm not a particularly articulate person so it's possible I'm the problem but there's a level of absurdity to things we take for granted that people who don't waste their time online haven't encountered yet. On its face "Blackrock is turning my vidya diverse" is just so absurd that it's filed as forget next to whatever other sewage the terminally online have dredged up that day and given a denial because that's insane, they can't possibly actually do that, companies hiring like that would open themselves to a lawsuit, companies wouldn't alienate their own customers intentionally, no DEI doesn't really mean what you think it's actually x y and x, etc

yes
a lot of the arguments i've seen regarding sweet baby inc is basically corporate extortion though (for lack of a better term)
hire us or we'll say your game is racist or w/e
it's not really any different than what's been going on at basically every company in existence though, so this isn't unique or a bombshell or w/e

It's just funny because of the fact they push DEI. It'd be like imagining Bill Gates cowering at the feet of some neonhair creature.

Yeah like the last 6 months alone had plenty of bangers; Balatro, Helldivers 2, Palworld, P3R (no I'm not paying $70 for your games fAtlus), Granblue Fantasy: Relink, etc.

I FRICKING HATE BALATRO SO GOD DARN MUCH AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i can't beat it. i just can't fricking beat it. i've won a single game in like 20 hours of playing. the blinds are too god darn high at the end.
i forgot palworld existed. my cousin randomly gifted it to me the week it came out and i played like 10 hours and really really enjoyed it. then i started playing siralim ultimate (an amazing game i keep meaning to make a shill post about but never doing it) and project zomboid. then balatro came out. and now here we are, with me remembering palworld exists and wondering how different it is after a month of not playing. i had a cool flying monster and just got my first gun.

The trick is to use the interest mechanic and learn the power of multiplicative multipliers over additive multipliers.

16 days and dozens of hours played later i'm coming back to this comment to say...i finally get it. i've just learned there's a difference between +2 and x2 multiplier.
i won like 4 games in all my play time before. now i've won 2 games in 4 tries.
i was googling why the legendary jokers are garbage when i found a steam thread saying that with replies all
you r-slur there's a difference between + and x multiplier!

Tbf there isn't a big UI difference between the two stats. Something the game needs to work on imo is communicating info to the player.
Glad to see the game clicked for you now!

He does them because he can't fully chudpost, so he just retweets chudposts with an exclamation that could either be agreement or astonishment in the face of audacity.

The fat Asian dev guy was saying ESG is declining and AAA will continue to fail because they're so caught up in the DEI bullshit, there will be more slop and more shut downs, but we will see more AA successes.
