Exactly, Like how many more games and companies are gonna have to burn for this nonsense to end.

""Modern audience" = players acclimated to contemporary interfaces, accessibility options, controls, and other by now long since industry standard UX features that the original game didn't have at the time. Fully independent camera control and options other than tank controls. Modern rendering techniques. Etc.

That's all it means. It's not a coded subliminal message signalling anything else."

100% Woke, 100% imposter = Go broke

Ok but none of this affects my personal life or mental health. Like I said, I’ve got more important things to worry about.

It depends on the definition of the word "woke", In the game all characters are white, there are no trans people or gays, and the female characters in the original weren't attractive either, so I don't understand the complaints about this game. By the way, the Steam platform is listed as a partner on the SBI website, so delete your account if you want to fight to the end

It just very much seems like there is DEI in the game, other then that I see no world ending issues. Nor would that end my world.

This is such a strange Hill* for you guys to be dying on.

* Didn't plan it but I'll take it.

Modern Audience = People who don't want to use the original games Tank Controls that were designed for a PS1 game that released in 1992.

God I hope they follow this advice.

I remember when game quality was judged based off, yknow, the actual game.

Good. Hit Detection is based.

[Marhier]

Hit Detection and Sweet Baby Inc. are both consulting companies, but they focus on different areas.

Hit Detection provides services such as mock reviews, and helping game developers evaluate community reactions and the portrayal of underrepresented groups.

Sweet Baby Inc., on the other hand, is also known for consultancy, particularly in narrative development. They help developers with storytelling and creating inclusive content, often focusing on representation and diverse perspectives​.

While both firms offer guidance related to diversity and representation in games, Hit Detection is more oriented towards risk assessments and media reviews, while Sweet Baby Inc. is more focused on narrative and inclusive content creation.

Sweet Baby Inc. immerses itself in the kind of DEI-driven agenda that often feels like forced inclusion, diluting creativity with their focus on representation.

You realize Valve and by extension Steam is a partner of SBI.

Will you delete your Steam account? That would be the ultimate way to protest.

[Jellydrake]

You realize that they were used in developing the accessibility options? Why do you have such an issue with colorblind people and people with low vision from playing games?
