This actually explains a lot regarding the Dracthyr design...
Japanese games tend to be headed by individuals who are given free reign to go about realizing their vision. Its why JP games are often cited as an individual's game whereas in the west is attributed to the whole studios.
Again, you're attributing a decline to the wrong thing. Even games that dont go for diversity often have the same general decrease in quality.
Hell, look at WoW. Its sharp decline in quality came many MANY years before they started up the ol rainbow capitalism with going for diversity and inclusion.

uh idk my mind instantly goes to mcdonalds and stuff like that.
like it's probably a great tool that'll be expanded even more to churn out lots of cheap mobile games without much input from actual people.
I had fun once, it was terrible.
We used to have lots of good diversity, especially on TV when I was growing up. 90's TV was great for it. Then we had badass females in video games ranging from Samus to Lara Croft to Claire, Veronica and Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil video games. And we got great storytelling in lots of games through the early 2000's as well. But now everything tries to be like Fortnite where diversity means jack all because multiplayer games with little story doesn't really give justification to the characters having backstories because they don't impact anything in the narrative because that doesn't exist. Or the games that don't have stories and character development that is more shallow than drowning in a puddle.
They categorized characters based on race and sexuality. Man, the Führer would be so proud.
Also imagine being such a disgusting employer that you have to expend half your resources showing people how not bad you really are.
Again. They only even showed this to distract from something horrible they're doing.

Activision Blizzard is union-busting in the middle of the union election by Raven Software game testers.
They've fired 12 team members, transferred others to different departments, and are now threatening promotions and benefits.

A whole studio where there's literally hundreds of employees should be following the creative vision of only a select few, hence why most studios have a creative director, an executive producer and maybe a narrative director. I'll take Doom Eternal as a good example. The game was made by a big team, but the vision was one created by less than half a dozen individuals. And it was really well received. Games that are dysfunctional are a representation of the environment they were created in where too many people had a say or there wasn't a singular vision among the creative leads.
because reactionary neck beards get YouTube views for bitching about it.
no one would bat an eye or give a passing thought except for a certain mindset that feels the need to "reeEEEEEEEE-" whenever a woman or non white person gets a role in a comic book movie.
look im in favor of all of the woke stuff everyone hates when it comes to representation, but using a "tool" to create only diverse characters i assume thaat means white males just dont exist? thats just as wrong as the opposite and saying only white males exist, such a thing is wrong, i think humans can create diverse characters without an AI.. how cynical dumb and counter productive blizzard are, in fact blizzard was already good on those kind of things in game, and nothing to do with their workplace accusations
I wonder where Bisexual and Pansexual lie on the meter?
+2 for Bi and +1 for Pan? what about Asexual?
We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

It's a good question and how does it all interact with each other?
Does a black character score higher or lower for being evil then a caucasian or Asian character?
This is such a dystopian view I'm intrigued to learn more...
Does being fat and crippled weigh more if you are young or less if you are old. I have questions.
Personally I would rather creators make whatever characters they want, without corporate interference for checking boxes. If someone wants to make a story about generic white dude adventurer that's fine if they want to make a story about generic black girl adventurer that's also fine. Personally I'm more in favor of player defined characters but that requires huge budget investments so it's not always feasible.
Also quantifying people by their gender race sexual orientation is kind of ick honestly it's like assigning points to someone based on their skin color in job applications.
So glad I stopped giving any money to this company years ago.
IDK why I would need to sit here and explain the difference between accepting things that are intrinsic to a person's being is not the same as accepting ideas and opinions that are from the jump bigoted and based in either fear, hatred or shame. but here I am, explaining it to people I assume are old enough to pay their own taxes...

So it's a tool where you can put in your characters backround and it tells you, wether you build something unique and interesting or a just the next version of "the kind hearted healer girl" or "black brawler dude with a heart of gold" or whatever other trope you can come up with?
Sounds unbelievably harmless?
