That is the publishers decision to have all that stuff in a game, not the developers decision. They only do what the publisher tells them on this topics, because they hope they will make more money with it.

On a good note? People lost their jobs, people with families, this is not ending one a good note, it the contrary. Also they had been working on the Wonder Woman game for years, before that another original IP and both got cancelled, how is that a good note?

You won't believe how many people aren't actually trolling with their "Hnggg! DEI/ESG/woke!" or whatever buzzword they don't even know the meaning of, to hide their bigotry behind. Many of those don't even really play games as a hobby that much. Or at least i can't otherwise explain how shockingly little they know how AAA-game publishers work.
You'll see them complaining how new games are being ruined and gush about the "good old days" where things weren't "woke", while celebrating larger game publishers (who 100% call the shots on what and what not gets developed and funded under their umbrella) axing the very developers that made those old days so good. It's next level stupid.

You need help if you actually believe this. I can't facepalm at you hard enough.

Monolith Games devs are legends. My first game from them was Blood in 1997.

Here are some of their titles over the years:
Blood
Rage of Mages
Get Medieval
Shogo Mobile Armor Division
Blood II
Septera Core
No One Lives Forever 1+2
Alien vs Predator 2
Tron 2
Matrix Online
F.E.A.R. Series
Condemned Series
... and the recent ones, everyone knows about.

This is yet another example of how non-gaming predators in suits and armed with spreadsheets entered the 'video game business' without a clue. AT&T bought Time Warner and from then on, everything went south.

I think this is bait

[ryansw989]

Nope, an entire studio closing down, especially one with such a heritage is a sad day. Especially in these times, not that there's ever a good time. I suppose the only bright light at the end of the tunnel would be they could stick together and create their own game without any restrictions or publisher requirements now. Let's hope they can do something like that and stick it back to WB. As they made some creative, unique titles in their time.

That's your "DEI fest"? Really? A developer saying that they were proud of their storyline and had hoped that the message it gave was one of hope? Really? Goodness, is anything even remotely positive an attack to you? It's not; and if you feel threatened by "DEI" (which is HR and corporate speak, btw, never meant to be used outside of it) then I would ask you to ask yourself why. Why are you feeling this way? Ask yourself those questions, and stop letting the loud grifters dictate your life. Take a step outside, breathe the air.

And a whole studio that's nearly three decades old losing their jobs...that's a tragedy, no matter if you "didn't like their game". You wouldn't be a fan of theirs anyway; so many complained about SoW and its contents... Yet you expected anything different now? Wild.

So, you're using an X post as evidence of this? Not only that, but just ONE X post? C'mon, where's the REAL evidence? Where's the scientific studies showing this? Oh, that's right, they don't exist. So, you can't actually support your claim. Mind stating just how something that's meant to spread a positive message is supposed to be DEI, or is this just one of those situations where DEI means "anything me don't like"?

[APT-GET]

It must really suck ass to not be able to enjoy anything because women have the audacity to exist. You lot that never shut up about DEI and ♥♥♥♥ yourself every time you see women or black people are pathetic. People are allowed to look different than you or be a different sex than you. Grow up. Go outside. Learn to cook something besides Banquet microwave dinners.
