Consulting to check that you're not making some massive blunder due to a blind spot in your relatively small writing team seems sensible to me. A lot of game dev teams are solidly mono-cultural, they might try to be diverse and culturally sensitive but there is a real chance they're going to make some dumb mistake or just be poo poo at it because it's all second hand.

AAA studios should probably be able to do that in-house, but you could say that about a lot of niche functions that regularly get outsourced to contractors.

Publishers that can afford it should absolutely hire a professional in-house writer.

Maybe smaller and foreign devs can let QA or testers give feedback about non-game play stuff, like if a very bad word or transphobic line won't go over well in the west.

They're just not great contract writers. Recent example they did a Woke Lex Luther in the Suicide Squad disaster, pissing off both the incels and seriousl DC fans. But I repeat myself. Or maybe it's intentional and they write out of genius hate for publishers and gamers.



You have an actual writing credit on this specific passage (which I think is absolutely something lex Luthor would think, the guy twists heroes into villains in his own mind all day, that's his superpower) or are you just too far down the rabbit hole?

When no one was looking, Lex Luthor posted forty takes. He posted 40 takes. That's as many as four tens. And they were terrible

What point are you arguing for? That consultants shouldn't exist as a concept? Staff positions are objectively superior to contractors? Or what?

I don't think Lex would be praising the Amazons about solving toxic masculinity.

"outwardly socially conscious billionaire who privately continues to profit off of misery" is a very common villain archetype in the new millenia, possibly because it has a tremendous amount of real life precedent. it's madeleine albright talking a big game about women's liberation on one hand and then proudly supporting policies that sent hundreds of thousands of iraqi women and children to the grave starving on the other

I thought Sweet Baby Inc. did that writing for the new suicide squad. Wikipedia says Scriptwriting (audio logs, non-player characters). I thought it was a good example of the issues some people had with them like Macaluso was asking.

Do you want like a specific person, or are those lines not really in the game or something?

They've rolled C&C into a bundle that includes Generals, Renegade and Tiberian Sun + Firestorm, but weirdly no RA2 + Yuri.

Edit: nevermind, they're still adding games to the bundle.
