Yeah they'll have some diverse new recruits to show how much they 'care'. When this is like more like putting on a good face after all the shit slung at them - and Bobby Kotick as the head honcho in particular.

Its a shame its the direction we're going in. The forced diversity take at corporate level always comes as false and pretentious. Like I can't seriously look at something like this and think its for the good of the company and customers. Like, at all. Not that I'm against hiring anyone but (ironically) moves like this are discriminatory in its own right and not that any self respecting company would say, never mind use as a PR piece.

I just straight up hate it, because at the same time, management is taking advantage of the people who don't give two shits about the games/lore, but are willing to make use of those hired staff for PR image, but those hired likely won't care they are being used, because they want to push their own agendas. Meanwhile I just want some good games and good writing, but with this new direction (coupled with that leaked info a month ago), I don't think we're even going to get any of that.

Isn't CoD already doing that with their female soldiers?. I swear they were taking the same sort of approach as BFV with one of their previous games. 

I haven't played any CoD in ages so I can't really answer, but I think it was Battlefield who put female soldiers with modern hairstyles in BF 1.

Sadly, this forced diversity is everywhere and has already caused some incredible facepalm situations, and it won't go anywhere soon.

I think it'll simmer in time, I mean it's only been a thing for around 3-4 years, but it thankfully hasn't taken over the entire industry (even though it's taking the indie side by storm).

I just want the old guard from corps removed, the ones that know they can take advantage of those with the agendas, because whenever those types are put in power, things flare  and fuck up rather quickly (like Saints Row's twitter being "brave" with their pushback statements).
