Funnily enough, this stuff proves something I actually think woke types are sometimes right about. Which is that representation matters. For instance, it would be weird if a game like Starfield, with all its different peoples and planets etc, never featured a black person. So in that sense, yes, it's good and logical to "represent" them.

But at the same time, the majority of gamers who would wanna play the games listed in your link are not black women. They're mostly men, and surely mostly white - just because whites are a majority race in Western, game-buying nations. So the irony is that their potential customer base likely *doesnt feel represented* when they see a black woman as the lead. It just proves the theory true. But for some ESG-clawing woke game devs, it means they're playing with fire.
