Hardly surprising news.
Black women make up about 0.5% of the Xbox audience. White men make up about 80%.

It's kind of silly to get annoyed about that. Microsoft are paying for it. They won't want to gamble on something like that.

I doubt that demographic, pretty sure Asian/black/latino makes up more than 30% of the gaming market. Could be closer to 40%.

By 2020 less than half of the children in the US are projected to be white, so continuing to make games in this "you can only make a game with a white lead" is quite frankly just stupid.

Well you just added asian and latino, dropped the "female" qualifier and dropped the Xbox qualifier. So sure. But I was very specific in what I said!
