Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 29714, member: 3864"] Of course, but the people making games at Sony didn't either. They sought an outside perspective on some things, and while I don't think there needs to be an entire *consulting* firm for that, it doesn't invalidate the creative pursuits of the developers at Insomniac or Remedy, etc. Alright. This just kinda feels ahistorical, games like (here I go being on topic for once) Metal Gear Solid *absolutely* stopped the show to lecture you. Kojima radicalized me and plenty of other kids against the use of nuclear weapons, let me tell ya. I remember my uncle in the military calling it....to be honest, I won't be verbatim, real racist stuff, but suffice to say he didn't think I needed that kind of "PC brainwashing". (That was the buzzword, back then.) I agree that people shouldn't be hired to avoid offense *specifically*, but if you're looking for other lived experience to make a collaborative work feel more fleshed out, I can't fault that reasoning.
