Friendly reminder that this is the same site that has continually railed against being shitty to devs for delaying games, and now they seemingly endorse being shitty to devs for delaying games.

You know what, screw it.  This article is the final straw.  Blocking Kotaku.  Racist bastards.

Be A C C O U N T A B L E

Absolutely embarrassing this was allowed to be written let alone published. Thank god you mentioned his race, that certainly played a big part in the story!!! As far as his claims of being ripped off: as anyone with eyes can tell you, This looks absolutely nothing like the fight scene in the movie. But, you’ve gotta…

and where is the important context around the colour of his skin? why is this the main part of your headline? laughable

I was flabbergasted when I read this headline - ‘black dev’ - I mean so fucking what?
And then I come to the comments and the actual dude you wrote an article about is even questioning why you would put any focus on that.

So you’re just going to ignore that first sentence? There is literally zero need to bring race into this story. I saw the title and HOPED that the name of the development company was literally “Black”, but unfortunately I was wrong. There are issues where race is important. This is not one of them, and people like you…

I did find it odd they kept referencing you as a black creator, it seemed irrelevant to the point, if they copied you they are wrong no matter what race the creator is.

Could’ve easily left out the first word in the title. Especially if the article CONTAINS the quote ““I feel it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a Black creator, but instead (if it’s indeed true they copied me) it’s another case of creatives ripping off ideas from other creatives, which is hardly uncommon for…

This article is a bit ambiguous about a couple of things: The ‘speaker’ from that clip isn’t one of the presenters from King, and she’s not demonstrating how to use the tool. She’s just an audience member who’s been invited up on stage.

Prior to what’s shown in the clip the two developers from King demonstrated how…

Remember everyone: You only matter to Kotaku if they can exploit identity politics for a story.

Lol Kotaku dropping the ball as always “I feel it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a Black creator”

“Black dev? His game is called black?

You could at least change the title given the developer themselves have taken issue with how this article was framed. It feels gross as a black person to see obvious outrage bait.

The fucks a ‘black dev’?

“Black dev”?  🙄

This is a tool to help developers be more aware of their unconscious bias. How is that a bad thing?

and of course he had to bring his skin color to the argument, as usual

I get that it seems tacky, but this is a hundred million dollar video game. Decisions are going to be made using hard data and driving metrics. Tools like this exist in all large corporations (especially entertainment media) because its the only way to reasonably make decisions. I’m sorry, but they’re not going to…
