Since Black History Month is wrapping up Twinfinite wanted to touch upon an issue that is relevant to it: the general state of minorities in gaming. Now before the article starts, one has to clarify what is meant by the term “minorities.” Since the standard use of the word refers to all people of non-Caucasian origins, that will be the definition this article will be referring to. A couple of weeks ago, Twinfinite released a list counting down the top minority characters in gaming. The response was a little different than anticipated. That surprising response made them take a long and hard look at gaming culture as a whole and they thought that this feature would be a good outlet for them to share their thoughts
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
do we really have to bring this article up?
I don't notice anything about the current trends involving the race of main characters in video ganes. If it's a human lead then it's a human lead. Colour / race doesn't matter, right?
Man Asians and Pacific Islanders have it so good. They are a full 25% over what they represent in the real world.
All joking aside though, it is an issue. From your previous article, there really aren't even any good minority characters. The best one was from San Andreas and that was a thug criminal.
For the record European people are the minority, we're only about 8% of world's population so from an objective point of view this article is silly, but we must press on because this is so silly it must be nipped in the bud.
Guys it's impossible to argue with the race griefers they're not rational people. The image of violent White male is a Leftie's ultimate fantasy because it conforms to their warped world view, even though the stereotype is offensive and not at all representative of White men.
Yet here they are complaining that there aren't enough non White or Female characters mowing down hordes of enemies, pulling off carjackings and slaughtering commuters in airports.
Can you imagine the screams of horror from the Race Griefers if "No Russian" was "No Xhosa" and featured African terrorists slaughtering the African patrons at Oliver Tambo airport in Johannesburg.
As I said, they're insane and you can't reason with a Race Griefer, there are certain violent stories and in game behaviours which under their rules you can only do with White characters because they are terrified of "Negative" stereotyping of non whites, yet they complain about games not being inclusive?
Don't look for the logic in it.
Personally I think gamers just need to start being nicer to each other. It's a racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally prejudice issue. My least favorite thing is this idea that just because people are online they can be treated without respect.
