EA responds, and then really responds to their award

I don't think that anyone here would argue against that, but this is an industry that has recently had multiple instances of publishers trying to get developers to remove female leads from the cover art (The Last of Us), developers removing them from the same on their own for 'better sales' (Bioshock: Infinite), and the developer of Remember Me having to fight tooth and nail to have a female main character. This isn't even going into how female characters are normally treated.

And then there's the LGBT spectrum that practically doesn't exist. Nor issues with POC and their visibility.

Edit: Basically I'm saying that's all fine and good, but that diversity you're talking about doesn't actually exist in any meaningful form in this industry.

*Looks at the above statement*

SO what you're saying is that in the games that I have been most excited about over the last year, YoungWhiteMale fuckery has been trying to change the aspects that have been most awesome about them.

Are you SHITTING me.

This article is a little over a year old and has a good amount of profanity, but it covers a couple of other things I forgot to mention EA is pretty bad about. It doesn't include everything, and nothing from the last year, but it definitely has a couple of things I had forgotten about.

List of things EA has done that are objectively shit

RedWolf4:
Faith in gaming industry. . . .waning. . . .

From what I've heard, the industry representative in Brian Fargo's parody videos during the kickstarter campaign for Wasteland 2 is pretty representative of the real world.
