The characters are awarded additional points each time they break the "norm," which is mostly a white, cisgender straight man.According to the original article, Activision Blizzard planned to unveil this tool called the Diversity Space Tool this summer. Its goal was to make it available the other gaming companies.How did the Internet react in response to this announcement?
A lot of people criticized some of the features in the Diversity Space Tool, while highlighting several issues with the technology.How can you determine the gender and race in this. What is it that means that a particular character is of different race from another?" one user wrote on Twitter.Some members of the Overwatch team and, as per Activision Blizzard, have tested the tool, have denied having any affiliation with the program.
"God I swear our own company has a tendency to destroy any goodwill that the actual developers who create the game have built," character artist Melissa Kelly wrote, noting she believes that her team "doesn't even use this creepy chart" because their writers, producers artists, and other devs are all eyes.How would Activision Blizzard respond to criticism?
The company ultimately eliminated all charts from the initial post, as well being any references to its first-party teams that were trying out using the Diversity Space Tool, which it later described as "prototype" that is currently in beta.
"Our intent with this blog post was to present an in-progress part of our experience in this endeavor," the editor's note reads. "We recognize and respect the fact that everyone is at their own distinct moment in their journey of [diversity, equity, and inclusion]. This Diversity Space Tool is not an absolute assessment of the diversity of game content but rather an opportunity to open previously infrequent conversations about the ways that considerate inclusion can occur - and flourish- in games."
