Activision Blizzard showed a tool for evaluating the variety of characters in games and instantly flaws from gamers

In an attempt to cleanse your name after a series of sexual scandals, Activision Blizzard jumped above her head by introducing the Divercy Space Tool - a designed King tool that evaluates the degree of compliance with a game character with modern trends.

Each characteristic (sexual orientation, gender identity, type of body, abilities, age, race, culture) is assigned from one to ten points, which allows you to calculate with high accuracy, how much the hero does not correspond to the usual norm.

Anu from Overwatch was brought as an example (the sequel team, by the way, took part in testing, as well as the creators of Call of Duty: Vanguard). This approach should allegedly allow women, nebinars and other minorities in the games.

The tests of the Diversity Space Tool have been going on since 2016, now the program has been at the beta stage, and in the summer it is planned to be distributed throughout the Activision Blizzard. That's just gamers on social networks did not divide the enthusiasm of the American giant: some remembered the company's racial policy of Nazi Germany, others did not like the division of races and floors into the first, second, or even third variety. There were no memes either.

Activision Blizzard showed the director of tolerance - more women and nebinars in the company and her games

Activision Blizzard had to hastily edit the article, cutting out most of the information from it, and apologize. The company assured that we are talking only about a convenient tool, but the final decision remains with living people. Curious statistics were included in the material about the priorities when creating a video game: as it turned out, the majority worries not a gaming design or narrative, namely diversity.

It is worth noting that from the official website, both the details regarding the functionality and application of the Diversity Space Tool were seized, and information about its imminent ubiquitous implementation.
