Mary Kenney, associate narrative director at Insomniac Games, has discussed the current online discussion surrounding n…

During a game’s development, narrative consultants will be hired by studios to help with fleshing out or tweaking narrative elements, Kenney said. “Narrative consultants do not get final say,” Kenney reiterated. "It doesn’t get into the game if we [as the developer] don’t approve it.

They ease the burden on the core narrative team. They’re additive in every way.”

I’ll edit this comment when I find the article that goes over all the finer points.

Edit: Found the article I was looking for, looked at a few others, but this one was the first one I read and I found it to be the most clear.

Edit 2: Just wanted to be clear, this is not my personal opinion of Sweet Baby, I’m trying to explain the current conspiracy theory that has everyone up in arms against this tiny studio.

Yeah, sweet baby worked on like background speech of NPCs in Suicide Squad from what I understand.

Say even if they are responsible for this, the games

Edit: I think you misunderstood what I was saying in my previous reply.
