I’m on the same boat and just watched a playthrough. The story is still wacky and pretty good. Unfortunately the SBI and DEI influence is very noticeable.
DEI is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Not sure on SBI
But unless the game is late-seasons Glee levels of pandering, I assume it having some people who are not straight white men won’t feel that out of place.
Sweet baby inc is a company that offers services to game companies to make their games more diverse and inclusive. Their influence is really noticeable unfortunately.
No thats not the reason. It actually fits into the story. The main thing is this scene: https://youtube.com/shorts/hcOoREvW3lE?si=TZfV4uDugt_Ez8Yr
And some other things. Don’t get me wrong. I really like the story and how the game intertwines with control and the remedy multiverse. I just think the SBI influence is noticeable which is a shame in my honest opinion.

My pet peeve is people using obscure acronyms without defining them first.

I’m literally playing through Alan Wake 2 right now and there’s been no forced diversity or tokenism whatsoever.
Are you just saying that because one of the main characters is a black woman?
