Lords of the Fallen Studio CI Games Will Not Integrate DEI Elements in Their Games To Maximize Player Enjoyment and Commercial Success


The Lords of the Fallen studio CI Games will not integrate DEI elements in their games to maximize player enjoyment and commercial success after having observed the high commercial risk these elements can present.

During a recent investor chat, the studio was asked about their stance on DEI in gaming. Global Marketing Director Ryan Hill confirmed that the studio remains committed to producing player-first video games that prioritize excellent user experience with compelling themes and characters created specifically for "core and adjacent audiences". While some recent video games have taken the opportunity to implement "social and political agendas" within their experiences, Hill continued, the lower than expected commercial performance of some of these games shows that many players do not appreciate these elements. As such, the studio will continue to develop experiences that maximize player enjoyment and commercial success.




THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BIG win!! I'm buying anything these guys put out!

This is amazing. The CEO just posted on X confirming that they will not add DEI slop into their games.

[Senki]

Glad to see that the industry is shifting. I don't care if lgbtq and feminist games still exist but we don't need every single product in media infected by propaganda with it. Everybody should just have a genuine vision and stick to it, no more adding things just to please the non-existent ''modern audience''.

Do you normally scavenge the community page of games you dislike? Just curious.

Jesus. Can't they just leave politics out of games? With that stance they actively made it about politics.

I mean, the sequel is Epic exclusive anyway so......

publicly announcing that they won't make content that isn't genuine is the opposite of putting politics into games actually

That announcement quite literally is a political statement. They are actively not including stuff because a minority does not want to see for reasons unbeknown, even though people of said orientation do exist in the real world.

For a realistic representation it would require 3 percent homosexual, four percent bisexual and one percent pan or omnisexual. Going against these numbers would be political.

It's not: "Including DEI = Pollitics, not including it = no politics!" That would just be people wanting to only see THEIR position represented. Which seems to be a bit out of line ... I mean discriminating other people just because they have a different sexual orientation you personally don't have to care about wouldn't be nice now, would it?

So them announcing that they will never include characters with a non majority-sexual orientation out of principle makes it political.

Not including DEI quite literally means no politics. It means that they only include what they want and don't force themselves into diversity.

No one cares about your realistic percentages bs, this is art not reality. Many companies mess up their artistic vision with DEI for the sake of pleasing the non-existent ''modern audience''. Going against that and simply doing what you want is NOT political.

There are black characters in this game because that's what they wanted not because of DEI. I don't think they mean ''we will never have any minorities/protected groups ever'', it simply means ''we will only add what we truly want to add'' aka genuine content. Not political.

I'll believe them when they patch out "Body Type A & B" into "Male & Female".

They're trying to cash in on the cultural shift when its safe to speak up.
