    If the art was already written with diverse characters like they were before companys like this existed then why do you have to hire a firm to make it diverse. A piece of art should not have another company come in and make “suggestions” on things to change to fit inside of a narrative.

      If you read the article you’d find out that writing diverse characters isn’t a focus of this company. Once again “gamers” completely misunderstand how games are made.

      Right, nobody should ever get feedback or suggestions when making art. That’s why all good games and movies only have 1 writer who also directs.

      Let’s say you’re an indie company with 5 employees, and you’re all straight. But you want to write a story with a gay character in it. Maybe you could hire an expert on gay characters to make sure your writing is authentic and accurate.
