Warhorse Co-Founder Criticizes Media Over Kingdom Come: Deliverance Controversy

From GameWatcher: "Warhorse Studios' debut game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was involved in controversy prior to release regarding the general lack of diversity in the game. Criticism was raised against the lack of diversity in the title. The developers defended their decision by citing historical accuracy, which was a major marketing angle of the game."

If you play a game set in 15th century Bohemia and your concern is that nobody shoe horned non-whites into the game just to appease foul SJWs and their pathetic diversity quotas, then you're playing the game for the wrong reasons and i'd wonder whether you're even much of a gamer at all.

There really was no controversy. Just the usual SJW nonsense, and Warhorse were very well rewarded for standing their ground where other cowardly game devs would've given in.

quent2571d ago

Fuckin exactly, and that also counts for mediums outside of gaming, I've never had a problem with diversity in anything but these sjw's are really pushing it, to a point where any diversity in entertainment will be seen as forced just for the sake of diversity by everyone who are not these sjw's and will push back more then ever before, if they keep making a big deal out of nothing then the opposing will do the same, one big non issue of complaints where everyone turns over sensitive to any subject matter involving race or sex

God the human race is a complicated species, so much arguing and fighting over nonsensical bullshit

If historically accurate becomes offensive then we are basically living in a revisionist dystopia.

SJWs really are cancer. There is literally no pleasing them, here's an article where Vice complained about TOO MANY black people in Far Cry 5: https://news.vice.com/en_us...

With Far Cry 5, the actual % of blacks in Montana is 6% (and a lot higher in game) and native Americans is 6.6% (though none really, if any, in game). One game goes for historical accuracy and gets complaints, while the other tries to appease the sjws. Either way, the game is still fun.

I bought it day one just because of that honestly lol. I played one hour and decided to wait for the patches. I will probably dive into it after God of War. I’m sure they have patched it significantly by now.

👏

Love this studio and their willingness to not put up with PC Bullsh*t and SJW Nonsense.

That's a terrible decision. Just adding a higher frame rate options or next gen latch would generate a ton of interest from new players.

Still have Forspoken and KC:Deliverance on my huge backlog list. Don’t know when I’m going to get around to them though.

7 and 4 are the only 2 I played on this list and even regardless of their negative press. I had a blast with both games, and I have no regrets with them.

TheColbertinator75d ago

Alpha Protocol. Obsidian needed more time with that one I think.

RaidenBlack74d ago

Yep, Alpha Protocol is pretty unique. A spy-thriller-RPG. A pretty rare theme.
But the development wasn't smooth, and needed more time.
One of the few 7th gen titles that I support for a proper Remake, so that the gaming world gets something unique.

Inverno75d ago

Hilarious to me how Kingdom Come 2 has scored well so far when the first was attacked by the same sites that apparently enjoyed the second. Glad they could make a sequel cause so many games have been the target of journo slander and been denied the chance.

chicken_in_the_corn75d ago

I thought Darksiders 3 and Vampyr were great.

This apparent ban is due to “unskippable gay scenes” that are found in the game’s story mode. Hints about the ban came a few days prior, but multiple news outlets are now reporting that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has officially been banned in the country.

We need to appreciate the strict rules of Islam, but we also need to appreciate the amazing freedoms we enjoy. Lets be thankful and appreciative of our friends.

lelo2play110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Too much freedom is also bad. People think they can do whatever they want without consequences.
Too much freedom = lawlessness.

GotGame818109d ago

What 2 people do behind closed doors doesn't= lawlessness! Your selfie explains everything!

No freedom at all = Islamic states.

No thanks. The more freedom, the better.

BeHunted109d ago

What Freedom? Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America.

Eonjay109d ago

@Behunted

"Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America."

I mean terroristic threats are crimes and yes you can get arrested for making them. Yes, there are limits to free speech. But outside of posing a risk to other people you are free to say whatever you want. Its a rationale approach for sure. Free speech doesn't mean absolute freedom. You are not free to bring harm to other people usign your words.
