I recall Wings, but none of the others though a few of them ring a bell sorta kinda.

I think you're seeing what you want to see and not reality. Pop quiz: Who is one of the lead actors on The Walking Dead? One of the main characters in Maze Runner? Daniel Dae Kim has been in how many hit TV shows AND movies? Lucy Lui? Come on, there are a ton of Asian actors.

Can I go to China, Japan, and Korea and bitch about the lack of white dudes in the movies made there? 72% of this country is Caucasian. 12% is black, and they are the BIGGEST minority. Asian ethnics make up about 5% of the population. (From ALL Asian countries.) If anything, most groups are over-represented in Hollywood in some sort of attempt to make everyone feel good about themselves.
Having said that, it is weird when Jesus is a white dude and so is Gandhi. In multiple movies.
The thing is, a lot less than 5% of Hollywood is Asian. If you look at recent major releases, you have Sulu in Star Trek and that dude in the Fast and Furious movie. That's like what, 2 people out of hundreds of actors, both in minor roles. And when's the last time an Asian actor had a leading role in a movie outside of the rare stereotypical Kung Fu flick? There's no way you can say Asians are over-represented.
Also, Hollywood may be based in the US, but it makes movies for global consumption. A lot of blockbusters make WAY more in foreign markets than domestically, and a film's oversea's gross can be essential to its success. That's a huge difference than asian cinema making films for their own much more racially homogenous markets.

Daniel Dae Kim was a lead on how many of those?
And you named a few. I can easily name 20 white stars for every 1 Asian you can name.

I'm sad they lost their jobs, but I'm happy that they're free from M$.
Unless they are under contract people are free to leave their jobs at anytime. I'm guessing all those people working at Lionhead were comfortable with their jobs, and if not they were not they would have preferred to have left on their own terms instead of being forced out.
THANK YOU. Sometimes I wonder what planet Slick is from.

I figured this would end up on Kickstarter, not thrilled by that but not going to dismiss it because of that.
Romero's had success and failure, so hopefully he knows how to avoid his mistakes, and keep all his bitches in check.
I think it has a chance.

You guys should watch this if you're on the fence about this game or don't even know what it is or think Overwatch is just going to stomp it. They aren't even the same game genre.
Cynical Brit Opinion of Battleborn
I didn't even care for the game until I watched this. It actually looks like it could be my next Team Fortress (it's not like team fortress but i sunk 10000 hours in team fortress is what I meant).

Oh goodie...another rich, entitled prick telling those who actually -do- the work to stop bitching about long hours, poor pay and bad management.HoSpanky wrote on Apr 17, 2016, 14:03:
So, the article is St. John saying "you should totally stop complaining that you're working insane hours, and not getting paid overtime for it, or anything at all, for that matter."
No, he's saying that if you don't like working for somebody else in bad conditions for little reward, you should do something about it other than whinge impotently - "I tell these people; quit, go make great games on your own, pursue your passion".
I don't agree with what he says (no, St. John, getting "rich accidentally" isn't an adequate comparison) it's very different from him telling people to shut up and making him more money. Pretty much the direct opposite, in fact.
Julio wrote on Apr 1, 2016, 05:06:Yeah. It's not bad enough that people want to restrict what you say, now they want to restrict how you look at others. I guess thought control really is the final goal...
Now they probably want to blind every male just to be certain.

This is what happens when you have dev staffs of thousands and need to release the same game every year to keep your mega corp alive. Next it will be Call of Duty is Wonderland or OZ.
I want the gaming industry of 15 years ago back. When game development was a lot slower and the games lasted a lot longer.
