Call me any name you want, but when "diversity" is shoved down my throat, I back off and never return. When it happens naturally, as with Lee in TWD or Aloy in Horizon, I love those characters for the rest of my life. I despise hidden agendas.
I love Cameron Monaghan. I'm going to like and eventually remember Kal because of the actor behind him. To be honest I stopped reading this "article" when I saw the word WHITE. I have no time for identity politics obsessed hacks or their "opinions."
Stadia will fail, and Google will slowly back out just like they do with everything else. Personally, I would rather die before I give Google one red cent of my money or one minute of my time.
How does an episodic game support a world map? How would it support the exploration that lead to awesome stuff like chocobo breeding, fighting Weapons and getting your hands on Knights of the Nine?? HOW???
