The devs for Desert Combat, a modern warfare mod for Battlefield 1942, were bought by DICE to help develop Battlefield 2. So you were in the right direction

They've used master/slave terminology for some system, and resisted people pushing for it to change for awhile until they relented. They had a lot of comments like "this is just US political correctness culture" with their push back. Those kinds of responses really turn me off, even for a relatively minor thing.

Choosing to use and stick with master/slave is a dogwhistle.

Thank goodness for Unreal. Devs now get to choose between the racist game engine, the bleeding-money game engine, and the shader cache stutter game engine.

Yeah, they were briefly DICE New York before getting cut loose with a lot of bad feelings. They changed name to Kaos Studios and went onto make Frontlines: Fuel of War and Homefront 1 for THQ before going down with that particular ship.

they changed it within a couple days and the devs are argentinian, and master/slave was pretty standard for a while. i dont think the godot guys are members of the klan

I'm totally sure the unity CEO has absolutely no abhorrent personal views or politicians donated to that are significantly worse than "using previously standard english engineering terms in an engine across a language barrier and then removing it when the context of it was explained"


i don't get the desire to swing in with a "all sides are just as bad as each other" argument unless it's trying to morally justify why sticking with the lovely company is fine actually

It's common parlance in ALL industries. How many people sleep in "master" bedrooms? I mean, I'm all for changing it everywhere, I don't give a gently caress, but to call using "master/slave" a dogwhistle is a real "gamer move", as it's called.

Comparing "master/slave" to "master bedroom" is glossing over the most problematic part of "master/slave"

Hell, there are articles from as recent as 2020 talking about whether the term should be changed talking about hard drives. It's a really unfortunate term, but that a foreign developer may not be aware of the issues with the term until its explained to them, and according to the tweets, Godot did change it instead of doubling down and refusing. I'm not a fan of Master/Puppet, but it's still better than the alternative.

Glad the guy reneged after pushback.

I don't seriously think the entire game engine is racist because of one guy on top or that there are only three engines to choose from. Thanks for setting me straight though. I'll try to add /s if I'm taking the piss next time.


I wanted to see if any Godot developers have talked about the Unity thing. Most I found was this banned former dev who has a different axe to grind.

Most of the main developers I follow on Twitter had something to say about the Unity thing. You'll have to go look for them yourself though, sorry.

lol more than a little. he seems to have just had some normal disagreements with the godot leadership over the engine's design philosophy but then got banned from contributing after going on unhinged rants about wokeness and calling one of the other devs fascist for being russian.
