... to boost women and minority group employment figures

>In a bid to better represent women and underrepresented minority groups under its employ, Blizzard plans to launch a so-called "global diversity and inclusion initiative" that will establish internal councils and help "enhance inclusiveness".

>That's according to an email received by Kotaku that also details just 21 percent of Blizzard's employees identify as women, and that only 14 percent are categorised as "under-represented minority groups". According to Kotaku, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime reckons these figures are consistent with the games industry as a whole, however it nevertheless wants to improve its own representation.

>The planned diversity drive will first focus on women in the workplace and thereafter cover minority groups—all the while eschewing "quotas" in favour of conferences and forging relationships with organisations such as Girls Who Code.

>"Our diversity initiative will require a commitment from every one of us, but especially from our leaders, managers, and hiring teams," says Morhaime. "We appreciate your dedication to help Blizzard achieve this goal."

>This news follows Morhaime's promise of "more diverse heroes and content" in Blizzard games earlier this year.

>let's hire people solely based on looks instead of skill
what could possibly go wrong?

But that's wrong, retard. They're hiring people from demographics they want to appeal to. It's like how ideally voting for a political representative to bring your ideas and views to the forefront.

You mean they're excluding more qualified people because they're racist. Get it right.

>>387162795
>They're hiring people from demographics they want to appeal to.
And the people they want to appeal to aren't fucking interested in the types of video games they're making. Diversity hiring won't appeal to new demographics, making games to appeal to casuals is a much better route.

turns out its actually only GOOD developers that can appeal to either, hiring purely based on what drippy bits are between your legs is straight up discrimination.

Seems like a good business idea, they can pay these people significantly less than skilled white men - and since modern video game consumers grow more lenient of poor quality by the day, they'll get away with it and they'll make record profits.

It's the same shit as getting actors to act "more urban" which is simply stereotypical minority thug.

>to appeal to more people/target demo
This is fine for a face role. I'm fine with a TV station to want a diversity hire for an anchor because it's someone people see, or a model or the like. Anything back end or none PR is completely and total racism and discrimination

So basically they're going to hire a bunch of janitors and interns to do menial, harmless tasks and then keep cranking out the same retarded crap they have always been doing. Nothing will change, it just looks good to the politically correct crowd. Blizzard has always been pretty PC on the surface, so this doesn't surprise me, they just want to stay in peoples good side since they know their IPs are about ready to self destruct.

why not just hire the best person for the job and stop forcing race and gender as an issue?

do you think blizzards hiring practice in the past has specifically excluded women and non whites?

do you think they were purposefully hiring the "best" white man they could find and turning down better qualified women and minorites?

or is it just the case that on average the best hire has been a man simply because numbers.

their policy now is literally "SEE THAT WHITE GUY THAT IS PERFECT FOR THIS JOB? DONT HIRE HIM"

its literally a policy of exclusion against white men because thats whats currently in vogue in social justice circles.

Cool. They'll still only hire them to unimportant feel good positions like PR. It's the same shit Google has done since they started their diversity push.

The argument being made by most people in this thread is that only white men can be 'skilled.'

Since human beings are *gasp* human, a woman or persons pertaining to minority groups are equally capable of performing the same tasks as white men.

The argument being made by many in this thread is that those that are most skilled should have the job, and those people are inherently white men. This is what this initiative is fighting against. White men do not have a monopoly on programming skill. Their genes do not make them better than anyone else.

If you guys love white men so much, why don't you just suck each others cocks and leave everyone else alone?

It doesn't bug me at all.

I'm gonna lay it all down for you guys real quick, and I want you to remember this completely if you ever enter the workforce.

Hiring has almost NOTHING to do with how qualified you are to do a job.

As long as you have the basic knowledge required for the job (ie, you know how to code for programming or engineering jobs) anyone can do any job. And in truth, in that line of work it isn't hard to get a job. But do you know how many white/Asian dudes there are who do this kind of work? Tons. Thousands. And they're all the same.

Now, if you made me the CEO of a company and said "Your product sells really well to group A, but groups B, C, and D aren't buying it," why the fuck wouldn't I bring in people who can sell shit to those other groups? If 100 people from each of those groups buys it, and 100 less from the first group do, I'm still up.

So it makes sense economically, and you don't even have to do anything different. You make a solid PR move and you bring in people who are going to push more copies of your product. So, why not?
>>
>>387164406
Nobody said only whites could design games, that's blatantly false, there are lots of minorities in game design.

What people are throwing a fit over is the notion that instead of hiring people based on their merit and skill, they just want to hire a bunch of people because of their race or gender. It's blatantly discriminatory.

The argument here being made is that only those skilled should get the job, color of skin or ethnicity being irrelevant.

What the left doesn't understand is that the worst thing they can do is what they're doing right now.
When you've put white males into their own tribe like you did for every other race, well then the majority start to come together for the exact same cause, and any further attempts at stepping on them is only going to lead to a violent response.

It's like how blacks chimp out whenever a cop shoots a black guy, regardless of guilt. Ironically it was actually marxism which created the nazi party in the first place, since the German people felt like the commies were too violent and were getting too powerful, thus needed to be curbed.

Learn some history.
The nazi party was a literal who party until the communist party of Germany started to gain a foothold. It was fear of communism which escalated the most anti communist party of Germany to total control.

Trump got elected because people are getting sick and tired of social marxism, and he was the most anti social marxism candidate there was. This is going to start happening throughout the senate and house if the left doesn't dial it back.

You know Unity did the same after our very own John Ravioli took over (coming from EA which was already pushing hard in that direction at the time of him leaving)

Now the Unity team consists of a bunch of pink haired faggots and the engine toasts every CPU it touches.

These people are a problem because the color in their hair or the tits in their shirts can't make up for good engineering skills.

Meanwhile over at Epic games they are still smashing it and Unreal Engine is getting better with every fucking version.

I have yet to see a single company where this shitty policy doesn't go really really bad.

Nah. Trump got elected because he toured the midwest and rust belt promising to bring back the jobs, while Hillary never even set foot in most of the states there.

You know the only person who had better numbers than Trump in these areas? Bernie Sanders, a guy who is basically a fucking communist.

Because when your town is filled with closing businesses, unemployment, and drug abuse, shit like "social marxism" doesn't matter. All that matters is "How am I going to feed my family?"

As someone regularly doing job interviews I can assure you this never happens.

It's more like

>5 positions open
>10 people apply
>8 of them are fucking idiots
>the other two are competent but social retards

The one golden employee that is highly competent and also a good team worker is something like a rare drop in an MMORPG.

You can't go ahead and hire on quota if you want good people. It's hard enough to find competent people already.

And the ones that are competent and make good team players are just more often white dudes. People must be able to open up to each other in order to work properly as a team. And that's MUCH easier in a homogenous group.

Sorry to burst your liberal bubble, but that's reality. And if you actually went through live with your eyes open and set on a goal, you'd realize that as well soon enough.

Opportunity in job market is limited. That is how economics work. Favoring a specific demographic will cause damage in the long term and create very unfavorable situation, undermining the competition and health of the job market. This is fucking high school levels of economics, ideologically driven decisions will bring nothing but harm, loss of profits and the minorities themselves in the end will suffer the most because of it, since those things tend to result in workers being laid off rather quickly. I'm sure they'll find someone else to blame for it though.

>>387166306
Then they shouldn't get the job. But if the company doing do says they're factoring race into their decisions, it makes them look like that's the only reason they hired them.

Honestly I think it's completely fine to hire more minorities, but companies who do it would look much better if they just did it instead of virtue signaling to the public theyre totally going to like fight oppression by hiring based off of superficial shit like skin color.
>>
>>387167129
But they're not favoring a demographic if 6-7 white men are hired and 1-2 minorities + 1-2 women are hired.
That's literally just hiring on merit.
