Legit don't get the snarky pushback in here: this initiative takes ZERO development efforts away from publishers, offers - for any developer or creative interested - a course on potential blind spots they might have surrounding issues of diversity in game design which can only make someone a STRONGER developer, all accompanied by a visual campaign to give more visibility to gamers (or actors, no idea who these people are) who don't meet the traditional image of "lady gamer" and what is the response:
. . .yeah. Totally no need for this initiative at all.
"Yes, yes my naive zoomer. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Stay indifferent to everything, all for the greater good and a world full of ponies. Yes, stop noticing things, it's all conspiracy propagated by basement dwellers"I don’t care about this… this won’t impact the development of any game
Thought the exact same thing.I got a better idea for Dove.
I'm no male nerd!!!!!So Dove has an ad campaign targeted toward women and a bunch of male game nerds are commenting on it. Why do yall do this to yourselves?
That's because their engine sucks donkey balls.Bethesda has had ugly women (and men) of every color in their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games for 2 decades.
Agree, but... Why are you quoting me on something I didn't say? That's Pimpbaa 's post.That's because their engine sucks donkey balls.
Dude I barely woke up and you got me like "wtf when did I say that?".I wanted to spice up things.
Nobody expect the gymwolf inquisition.
Bi just fucked up the quote
Accuracy. If they want to look like their original pictures- go to the gym. Eat better. Otherwise, don’t misrepresent yourself.My god, the absolute fucking savagery...
Because it's promoting being fat as good.
And let's be honest, the chat majority of people don't want to look at ugly people, nor see being disabled as a good thing (don't @ me for that, I'm not railing against disabled people).
None of us are running out to buy their products, however.At the very least this ad campaign is working, in that it's causing discussion about a dove product in a video game forum lol.
lol, it's a marketing campaign, social warrior.No it isn't. It is promoting people being comfortable in their skin by allowing them to express who they are in virtual form. There are fat people. There are always going to be fat people. You can encourage them to be healthier AND let them feel represented in gaming if they choose to say "Fuck that, give me all the cookies."
Oh give me a break. If this is the lens you view good game design through then 100% this kind of saccharine campaign is needed.
That's because their engine sucks donkey balls.

Can't describe better my mood than this gif.
The only good aspect is the fact that you if you leave a fork in a place, it's gonna be there after 20 hours.But for some reason it makes everyone want t buy their games.
Todd Howard knows how to hypnotize games through the TV lol. Explains Fallout 76's turnaround.
Not on purpose. But yes, they are the Dove demographic.Bethesda has had ugly women (and men) of every color in their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games for 2 decades.
Frankly this is a massive and misdirected overcorrection. It's true that very ugly, very disabled, and various other minorities have been ignored and invisible for so long, but even grouping them into one sweeping category of "diversity" is insulting and patronizing. Why should black people be grouped in with disabled people? What do disabled people have to do with obese people? What do obese people have to do with mentally challenged?
lol, it's a marketing campaign, social warrior.
Only if he identifies as non-man.Men’s Dove needs to promote beautiful male characters who look like this:
Where are you getting ANY of this?
But they're all white... Well there's a latina woman... But they have balls to show diversity these days without a black woman. And I hope for them there are trans and lesbians among them.

I'm surprised they didn't partner with Sony since they had similar ideas on this issue, given Horizon. I suppose they are working on a game using Ureal with one of their partners as the resaon for the engine partnership.
