i still want to know what happened to Bish
He saw what the OT has become in the last few months and wasn't allowed to ban people. This is how he sustained himself all these years.
This is my theory.

It sucks that this list is like half voice actors that are barely "video game" guys.
And that top ten list is cool, but a lot of them are "this person has a job in the game industry, and maybe they started their own company," and the company makes... mobile games?
I guess I don't know what I expected.
Was about to post Reggie's yearbook photo, he needs that fro back stat.
Yeah, this is what I mean. The singer of the theme song of Final Fantasy XV is in a thread asking for "the most well-known and influential black people in the gaming industry."
Just... damn, man. This thread does not make me feel good at all. I guess I'll do what everyone says when this subject comes up, and try to be the change I want to see in the industry.
I also wish a black woman currently had a prominent place in the industry *sigh*

There must be a better example, but Aisha Tyler is pretty great (even if games are a really small part of her work)
EDIT:
Goddamn I didn't even see this haha
This thread paints a pretty poor picture.
He'll have a talk from his white peers saying he looks unprofessional.
How did Reggie get started at Nintendo?

I didn't even know "black entertainment" was a thing :/
Was actually thinking about this today and looked up Jerry Lawson.
But you know, looking at that black culture is popular among whites thread the other day it got me to thinking...there's not a lot of games I think people would consider "black entertainment", is there? I guess with games it's trickier to break them down by ethnic contributions like you can do a tad easier with film and television, and I don't believe there's as much research done in terms of how race effects what games people play.
Like for example we're celebrating Moonlight as representing a major win for black entertainment in the movie business. Has there ever been a comparable game?

For me this. After horizon, there is no game i want more.You don't get any bigger.

Yeah, I clicked it expecting to be enlightened and came away disappointed. Guess I never thought about how few black devs there really are.This thread paints a pretty poor picture.
He's a black Haitian-American.
My thoughts exactly. Games industry can do more to recruit minority talent. All they need to do is get booths at the next NSBE National Convention. They can PM me and I'll get them connected, as I was a former National Executive officer. There are missing out. SHPE and SWE would be great resources for these companies too.ITT: there is a huge diversity problem in the games industry.
With Reggie at Nintendo you would think they would have a Nintendo franchise white a black character. It is nice to have him there though
I don't think Reggie has any real power when it comes to what gets developed. Not that I've seen any way.
Give me a couple of years guys! I hope I'll be influential.... Sad that there aren't many black folks we can name outside of voice actors and such. Very telling.

I thought Reggie was Samoan.
