Скачать или смотреть We Need to Talk About Inclusivity in Gaming

🎮 Let’s talk about something nobody in the gaming industry wants to say out loud: not every video game needs to be inclusive — and that’s okay.

In this commentary, I’m diving deep into the rising trend of forced inclusivity in gaming, and why it’s starting to do more harm than good when it comes to storytelling, immersion, and game design. Inclusion should enhance the world — not disrupt it. But too often we’re seeing studios inject modern political agendas into historical, fantasy, or dystopian settings where it doesn’t belong.

💬 This isn’t an “anti-diversity” rant — far from it. I’m all for well-written, diverse characters that serve the world and narrative. Games like Mass Effect, The Last of Us, and Baldur’s Gate 3 have proved it can be done right. But when representation becomes the focus over storytelling, the entire experience starts to unravel.

In this video, we’re going to break down:

✅ What “forced inclusivity” actually means (and what it doesn’t)

🎮 How some modern games sacrifice immersion for marketing optics

🧠 Examples of strong diverse storytelling that worked (and why)

🔥 The difference between authentic representation and a corporate checkbox

💡 What game developers should focus on if they want to tell powerful, inclusive stories that resonate with players


📉 We’ll also take a look at failed examples, like the Saints Row Reboot, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and other titles that tried to push identity politics instead of building believable characters and grounded worlds.

🎯 Whether you're a developer, gamer, writer, or just someone tired of seeing great ideas ruined by bad execution, this video is for you. I’m here to talk about game design flaws, corporate storytelling, and how developers can still include diverse characters without breaking immersion or insulting the intelligence of their players.

🧠 Why This Matters:

Players don’t log in for a lecture — they log in for escapism, story, and gameplay. When you try to transplant modern social justice themes into medieval settings or apocalyptic wastelands without building them into the lore, it ends up feeling fake, out of place, and preachy.

✅ Gamers want immersion
✅ Gamers want freedom to explore a world that makes sense
✅ Gamers want stories with emotional weight, not PR slogans

We don’t need more characters who exist just to be inclusive. We need characters that are complex, well-written, and meaningful to the world they’re in — regardless of their race, gender, or sexuality.
