Sheesh BAFTA just make your own friggin title. Game development aint Burger King. |
I don't see how these awards are relevant in any way... it's like ESPN giving out poetry awards |
This just goes to show that awards decided upon out of touch and biased elites don’t matter. As if developers would rather have awards instead of revenue. At some point these award systems will be irrelevant and developers will only care what fans have to say lest they not make money |
Im pretty sure there less than 5% lbgtq in us |
"It's wild, man." That's the takeaway😂 You are just fantastic at writing these things, I love that your stories are almost always brutal towards the subject matter, but the brutality is fueled by truth and only truth. |
Has anyone EVER bothered about BAFTA Game Awards before those news came in? |
Women do not, as a rule, go into STEM...<br>Which MEANS it is statistically IMPOSSIBLE to get a 50-50 split in coding.<br>Which is the REASON(not even joking) Finance/HR/OfficeSupport/PR/Marketing/Recruitment... are 99-100% female.<br>EVEN THEN - AAA-studios only manage to reach 20-25% females, in total. Because you only need so many HR... because HR are non-productive-staff. |
So," does this mean Ghost of Tsushima has zero chance of winning any sort of award?" |
Well looks like receiving a BAFTA award is meaningless. |
So basically its not Game of thr Year anymore. Its no longer about the quality of the game. Instead they should rename it Wokest Game of the Year. |
What I cannot fathom at all (maybe I'm not very smart idk) is how a tincy wincy minority of SJW zealots can cause so much trouble. You are my #1 go to guy for news and reviews but this clip actually made me genuinely sad. |
These people sound like insane cultists. Horrifying. |
Any development team who makes a game to just get an award from theses sjw pieces of sh!t will most definitely lose money and player bases...anyway who buys a game just for the awards it gets....if you do your dumb! |
This is what a culture war looks like. |
Wow, this is one of the most crazy shit i ever see... 2020 keep up giving |
Imagine actually trying to develop and publish a AAA title to fit into these insane requirements.,(reply>), @Rappy Lower ratings from <b>Real Human</b> players then jacked up by bot players<br><br>Honestly, Video game ratings these days are just being jacked up when it is really bad,(reply>), Imagine still having any hope for AAA games being good in the first place =P,(reply>), @Yossam88 And it will be dogshit because they will need to diversity hire half their staff lmao,(reply>), EA will try,(reply>), And this is how Last of Us 2 came to be! |
The BAFTA award statue depicts a male, presumably of Caucasian descent. Seems to me like they're not true Allies after all, 'cause that's highly problematic. |
This sounds discriminatory and illegal |
When you lose all hope for humanity reading a rule book... |
And these Bosos want to talk about Both Korea and China being controlling! This is bollucks! |
More like BARFTA. |
Black Desert does not look good. Will watch your content anyways |
Sounds like a great sigil upon a package to know it's content is poison. |
sounds like a good thing if you want to talk about something hire people who know about that |
Ah yes, I can't wait to see all the GREAT games that fit into all these categories. Really gonna rake in those numbers to watch it. Like, I've never heard of 'BAFTA', this is just gonna make me avoid any games that win, cause it sounds like you gotta spend all the time jumping through hoops to make an 'Acceptable products'. Get woke, go broke, eventually. |
Make a great game. Have great sales. Make great profit. Fuck awards. I understand the bragging rights of winning an award but Dev Heads need to start asking themselves "at what cost?". It's mostly just red-carpet circle-jerking at this point. A pedestal for people to step onto and denounce the bad flavor of the day and promote the good flavor of the day. I'm not against representation but if it's not organic then it will stand out and be critiqued for this. Also, if you're not getting the best-skilled people for positions then don't expect the best-performing game when it launches. |
Well, these awards will become an absolute stamp of what not to buy. |
That's official, the World is fucked up. Those rules are aberrant and dictatorship-like |
welcome to the present I suppose. I wonder how much more radical do we have to get as a society for people to find issue with it. One thing for sure. we're nowhere near there. Yet. |
So try to avoid games that were awarded BAFTA's unless you quadruple checked em up front. Because they risk being preachy propaganda and suffering from BBC flavored SJW insanity. |
Anyone still believing "we just wanted to be accepted" was not a slippery slope is in denial. |
Good, good. I for once approve of this change! If a game wins a BAFTA award, then it means that it's a game to be avoided like the bubonic plague.,(reply>), @Ember Fist well, it's in china....,(reply>), Please I would take the Black Death over this.,(reply>), Gadnokopele yup. |
So Goodbye Volcano High will be BAFTA GOTY 2021.<br><br>No real change there, then. |
Guidelines like those could be written by a Maoist terror cell. |
I'm just patiently waiting until all of this woke nonsense disappears in it's own arsehole. |
Well that made no sense. How does other channels getting nuked for TOS violations mean that this channel has to rely on sponsors?! |
That's what happens when the "diversity" crowd gets hold of power. The quality of the product and the skill of the creative team is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is how many of them aren't white or asian.<br><br>They literally treat people as tokens by saying "you need to have X % of this group in your team and game".,(reply>), It's sooooooooo hysterical.<br>"You need more Z in your video game."<br>"But, only like 3% of the population meets the criteria of Z"<br>"I said MORE!!!! Make them 30%!!"<br>"But, the game takes place 800 years ago and I have dragons."<br>"I don't care. I WANT A DISABLED DEAF WOMAN IN A WHEELCHAIR DOING KICK FLIPS ON SKELETONS!",(reply>), Interesting. I would like to read more about this practice in the USSR. Any links?,(reply>), This is exactly how things went in the USSR. You could become a doctor in ANYTHING at any University, even if you didn't know anything about the subject, as long as you relentlessly quoted Marx or Lenin in your exams/thesis. Do that, and the teachers simply were not allowed to flunk you. If they did, you could just report them to the State (because of this, there were people that made money writing end of course thesis over anything, because they'd just fill the text with Marx/Lenin quotes, thus guaranteeing the texts would be approved with flying colors).,(reply>), The funny part is that they make the groups, so they're the divider in the first place. |
The more SJW agenda is pushed in media for no other eason than propaganda, the more conservative I become... |
So our studio won't be winning that "award" then... big deal.. I love how some people think of themselves so important that they think everyone cares what they approve.. I mean no gaming company in the world has received my stamp/sticker and no one is crying about that. |
I dont care.<br>Money will go to games I think suit me.<br>GOTY is all BS. If game companies dont do good games I dont buy. <br>If the game industry needs to die because of this, then good. |
Imagine if say Stardew Valley came out this year. <br><br>Like fuck that guy who spent years alone on an indie title because you didn't hire a woman who was of a different ethnicity and sexual preference of you. <br><br>Damn you for not taking any interns throughout the games development. |
I really don´t care about BAFTA but what does it matter which criteria they choose to award a game? If they want to award minority inclusion that´s with them. Every media gets swallowed by politically correctness once it becomes too popular. |
This is actually great, then u see that game is bafta awarded u can totaly skip it and no need to waste money. Thank you BAFTA! |
I see this as an absolute win. We can avoid woke garbage with ease. Just look for BAFTA award badge on the game cover. Thanks BAFTA.,(reply>), Just dont discredit outer wilds cuz its actual good -.-,(reply>), Oh actually your a genius,(reply>), Yep thanks BAFTA!,(reply>), Yep, i'll stay away from any game with the bafta award badge from now on. |
I.. MEAN.. if it is a game about aliens how you do the balance its just...BAFTA totally out of his mind really |
Living in the UK I am not that surprised the BAFTA's are a bigger back slapping, self loving show of luvvies than the Oscars. |
Did we play the same BDO, or is this pure shilling? Lemme tell you about BDO<br>* Blatant P2W<br>* 30$ cosmetics<br>* Virtually no cosmetics in-game outside of the ones in the shop<br>* Virtually no PvE<br>* Auto botting to farm the economy<br>* Economy designed for said bots<br><br>FUN GAME! |
Bafta awards has. Become my new way to tell if a game far too left for me |
Black Dessert is extremely p2w and the combat System autolocks if you play something like ranger pretty boring combat system tbh. I wondered when u would sell out it finally happened I see. This isnt any better than Raid just hid behind good graphics. |
At this point, all I can do is smile and wish that the 'rona takes us all.... |
"Sorry, your programming skills are exactly what we're looking for but we have too many white people on board. If you have a minority friend who is less qualified, please send them out way.",(reply>), @EyeGodZA Sounds like fun...<br>Racism is just so idiotic. I mean just because someone looks different it doesn't mean that the person is suddenly different.<br>And when I say "racism" I include things like BLM. They are imo racist.,(reply>), @Winnie Id Well, I don´t know about other countrys, but here in germany companies are not allowed to reject people based on their ethnics, race, etc. That law is originally meant to help foreign people get jobs, but it can be used the other way to, so at least here it´s not possible to reject people based on that agenda BAFTA forces,(reply>), @ThePandafriend I wonder when I will get the invitation to a camp,(reply>), ThePandafriend white South African working in the film industry here; this is standard & par for the course, & I’ve been outright told I’m too white... to my face. <br><br>Unique scenario, because whites are a minority over here, but... in countries where they’re the majority? Pure insanity.,(reply>), @Pedro Duarte I wonder by when racial segregation comes back... |
So if I make a game about Ancient Egypt I have to put gay white transsexual people in it to win the award? |
Ah yes, restricting anyone with any creative freedom. BAFTA is a joke. |
You guys didnt want to call it out for 10 years. They told you what they were doing. Now you can welcome your new overlords. |
Just make every character gender fluid. Bam. 50-50 representation every time. |
Holy shit. World's gone insane |
Is that shit even legal? |
Sooo... The last of us 2 is "Oscar bait, solely based on virtue points. |
and suddenly all bafta awarded games became worst sellers |
No more games set at any point in history anywhere in the world, I guess? 🤷♂️ |
BDO is awesome... it is absolutely stunning...!<br>You don't HAVE to - but it is wildly recommended to buy the P2W cooking outfit.<br>Word of warning - it will EAT ALL your time :D |
What utter stupidity. Never heard of BAFTA before now, and I'm glad to know I'll likely forget they exist |
Black Desert, huh? I heard some good things. I approve of your choice of sponsor, you may keep it. |
Just more Marxist organizational cancer. I am unsurprised, but mildly impressed. |
Yet another cog to the SJW propaganda machine... How disgusting. |
So basically this award platform just committed suicide. |
ABSURD |
I cannot believe we live in a time where people who claim to believe in equality between everyone regardless of race, sex, orientation, economics, etc. is to openly discriminate based on race, sex, orientation, economics, etc.<br><br>Jonathan Swift couldn't write a parody this idiotic. This is what the obsession of "equity" teaches. It is a poisonous and evil train of thought. |
welp.... another "contest" to treat like a active cancer. Why should I choose to help something that limits mental function when I am all for expansion on all levels? Why should I say no ? Why I can't except everything as it is? Why should I support suppression at all when it leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouths? <br>Its funny on how the roles of the rule follower and rule breaker has switched - but I think we can "raise all ships" if we come with open palms rather than sharp knives. <br>Look I got stuff on my plate that I got to deal with - so don't jump into my life and expect me to greet you with open arms - I going to say " gtfo , you are unwelcome" |
As if gaming awards weren't a joke to begin with, now they've gone tits up overdosed on insanity. |
Where did we go so wrong... How could something like this even be real! <br>It is true... We are truly living through the ages of ideological stupidity and agenda madness... <br>Man, things have been getting worce and worce for the past 15 years... We must put an end to this, somehow... We don't need none of this kind of delusion.,(reply>), @jocaguz18 I know what it is, child - had to endure living under it in the 70s. Internationalism, collectivism, hatred of merit, use of brute force against any dissenters, destroying colonialism and leaving white civilians helpless against Africans - It's the same thing that those vandals are using today.,(reply>), the price for freedom is eternal vigilance. these people will pass, die out and be yeeted into the dumpster of history. but they will return if people don't keep an eye out for their depraved ilk.,(reply>), @Pedro Duarte ,I didn't allow jack shit; been aware of this ever since the mid 2000's and people have been laughing at me for years because of that; well, look at where we are now? Them fools still laughing? Thought so...<br><br>Many, indeed, allowed such insanity to pass through unchecked and the modern world we're living in is the consequence of that... wich is sad.,(reply>), Where did you go wrong? Simple: you allowed them to attribute EVERYTHING bad that ever happened to 'Fascists', thus exonerating Marxists from any kind of responsability on genocides, then you used all your forces to suppress "The Right Wing" (tm), thus giving free reign to the Extreme Left. And then used the full force of the law against anything anyone to the Right of Stalin does, while the Far Left gets away literally with murder.<br>Put it simply: you refused to do anything to stop the Marxist threat. THEY WON the Cold War.,(reply>), Rappy exactly, our tolerant cultures may be our one weakness to. Both a strength and weakness |
Of course it’s Britain. The place where you need permission from the police to make certain genres of music and no free speech.,(reply>), AnalogAmin probably someone who thinks that current Britain is the same Britain from the time that the 13 Colonies were a thing...,(reply>), I'm British and I could make whatever kind of music I want. Don't know where you got that idea from |
50/50 gender split? Of which genders? I thought there were a nearly infinite number of genders, how difficult would it be to get a perfect split of only two of those genders? |
Id just like to note that Sekiro would NOT get nominations under these ludicrous standards |
Holy shit, I can't fucking stop laughing |
Not seeing the link.... |
Welcome to 2020,where everything is about money and agenda<br><br>....lovely ,eh?Wanna improve yourself ?wanna be someone loved for who they *are*?wanna be fine ,even if you're straight or not from a marginal group ....<br><br>Tough luck |
So... it's "Your game must follow the party line comrade or it's off to the gulag." |
Ironic. We went from allowing/forbidding certain groups to do certaint things, to almost proper "you can achieve things by working towards them", and back to group quotas. How do we achieve anything in anyway, if instead of meritocracy we intentionally force mediocrity. |
How does the Lead Character standard work if you have a customizable lead character? Is it checked by default because you can change the character to be a minority or is it not because your not forced too?,(reply>), Or what about games like The Sims for that matter, where every character is customized? |
This crap will be over soon and we will all laugh. |
I think we all need to take a page out of Rohan's book here, look over our shoulders at BAFTA and other forced diversity bullshit groups, and give them a great big dose of 'I Refuse' right to their faces. |
so, it's the BAFGBT awards now? |
Oh yes, that's the way to make escapism better! By making it drag you right back into the real world...,(reply>), Except its not even the real world.<br>Real-world demographics do not have a 50/50 split unless you deliberately hand pick the sample. |
This shit reminds me about bbc, isn't it nearly the same type of shit? And look how the bbc is doing with things like doctor who nowadays thanks to this insanity. |

Game developer to BAFTA: "Fuck off!" |
Western media, entertainment, art and culture is generally dying and/or already dead.,(reply>), @MarioMetroid The weebs were ahead of the curve,(reply>), Yea i'm consuming a lot more Asian and estern European media now.,(reply>), Gentlesir PancakeBottoms it’s definitely already dead. This confirms that since this is one of the highest awards in entertainment.<br><br>Plus I wonder who’s at the head of BAFTA? A woman? A trans w-.. I mean man? A soy boy? |
At this point, I'm rooting for racist dwarves and elves so that we can at least have LOTR again |
Vote with you wallet |
Hmm so avoid games that have any BAFTA award... got it :D |
This is a joke, right?<br><br>Why would anyone WANT this? |
This doc is actually linked on BAFTA website," this page: <a href=""http://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/games-awards-2021-entry-opens-diversity-standards-pilot"">http://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/games-awards-2021-entry-opens-diversity-standards-pilot</a>" |
What a joke. BAFTA should cease to exist or matter. I wouldn't even want my art to be eligible |
good to know why games suck so much now a days |
Imagine actually giving a shit about any award show anymore. |
So say you meat all the requirements for BAFTA's fantasy, what do you get out of it? <br>No literally tell me. What the fuck do you get out of it? I generally want to know? |
BDO is one of the grindiest MMOs I've played. It starts you on a beginner server with an xp boost, and then when you get to level 50, you have to choose a different one to play on and the grind to gain each level gets exponentially more difficult. I'm glad you got sponsored, just not by them. The game's economy is based mainly around lewd skins and failing to increase your gear level, with the in game market being a joke of an economy. At least you can learn how the stock market works with it. |
The fact that this stuff exists makes me not to want to live on this planet anymore. This is just utterly embarrassing. |
Well. I guess the BAFTAs can be good for something: they can tell me which games not to buy. |
