The absolute CRINGE of Snoop pausing to let the audience say 'six in the morn' and nobody responded because there are only 12 Black video game devs

The song being older than a lot of gamers probably doesn't help. Kids need to educate themselves.

I once saw a free Ice Cube show at Kubecon. Well nerdier than a game dev convention, but someone with too much budget thought the name correspondence was cute. The cringe was absolutely top tier. I hope they both got paid well.

Years ago at CES, RUN was DJing a casual tech event where people were coming and going, chatting, eating, drinking, etc. Someone asked him to turn the music down. RUN! I had to give him a double nod when I passed him later, it rubbed me the wrong way.

In the four studios I worked for, every one of them had at least one, and in some cases, several, black game devs. So while almost as much of a minority as female game devs, I'm pretty sure there are more than 12.

Is the problem with insufficient blacks in the game industry because insufficient blacks are getting hired or because insufficient blacks see game development as a career? With women the argument was always not enough women. But it was true. Women didn't' take computer science.

As a former Sr Lead in the games industry, with both Developer & First Party Relations experience, your word salad is nauseating. I was the only one for a decade, meeting with everyone from the C Suite to QA. The point of the post was to call out that there are very few Black developers. Whether
dec 14, 2024, 12:03 am • 3 0 • view
It's 1 or 13, it's not enough. The reason is not "insufficient Blacks," by the way, you seem smart, please don't EVER use that term again, but failed to peel the onion layer back. The reason why there aren't a lot of us isn't because we don't take Computer Science. You're so close to getting it...
dec 14, 2024, 12:08 am • 3 0 • view
Last thing I'll say on this, sometimes it's OK to read a post and think to yourself, "interesting," and keep scrolling. You missed the entire point of a Black person speaking to lived experience. Try not to do that.
dec 14, 2024, 12:10 am • 1 0 • view
I have one more thing to say. I owe you an apology. I was thinking about the conversation last night and realized I let my nerdy self get in the way of the rest of me. I was wrong to focus on the numbers and miss the entire point. Thank you for pointing that out.
dec 14, 2024, 9:04 pm • 1 0 • view
I am open to learning. I guess I'm thinking if 30% of the general population is black that is the representation we should have. So less than that would be insufficient. But apparently I missed a point along the way.
dec 14, 2024, 9:08 pm • 1 0 • view
Appreciate the additional thought you put into this. The reality is that African Americans are a target demo in this industry, yet the representation behind the scenes is disproportionate. Focusing on numbers is the right call, but the WHY is more important as it leads to actual change.

You made an assertion as if it were fact. I debunked it by using availability bias alone and then asked if you had better data. Because we need to debate data, not availability bias. And I have worked with many black developers. And you may not have. Thus our availability bias is different.
