When publishers interfere like this bad this happen. From my perspective, its should be up to the developers what they want to do with their game. It their vision, they are the ones creating it. A publisher should have faith in the vision of the development team .
"And you want a black woman. And I was like, yes, I do, because it's about be whatever hero you want. No. It's a white guy. That's just the way it is. We know what sells and that's fucking it."
I think I'm gonna be sick.... looks at Gears 4. Prays to God that Microsoft actually lets the developers make what they want instead of depending on a white man on the cover to sell it. Reading this, you get the feeling that Microsoft depended more on their marketing team to sell games than the talent of their developers. Now I'm sad...
"They were going, what are you making? An RPG? Right, dragons and shit. And that was their advert"
Yikes.
"And they opened the RPG marketing drawer and pulled out a picture of a dragon that wasn't even in the game and went there you go. That's your market."
Good Lord. This is why Microsoft IPs are losing steam. What a vicious philosophy that hampers your developers.
