    It’s a trash statement because you can’t say which parts they wrote and which they didn’t without them telling you. Anyone who highlights that company as a problem is following some bad YouTube detectives who are generally upset that not every video game character is a white dude.

    The writing in Suicide Squad is also frequently highlighted as one of its most redeeming qualities, and SBI has worked on tons of games acclaimed for their stories, so it makes plenty of sense that they’d keep getting hired.

    WB also didn’t “sell their souls” to SBI. WB bought. SBI sold their labor. Because that’s how contracting works.

      I mean idk what YT video there is and idgaf if it’s a white dude or black feminist doesn’t mean the game will be good. Yes SBI games worked on a few good games, but doesn’t mean they can’t be bad with their labor either.

      Some games are good some well they shouldn’t even touch. And you’re assuming I’m saying they are the only problem. It goes both ways.

      And it’s well know they contributed to dialogue and writing along with WB. And the story and writing was mid unless you got that info from Reddit that its redeeming quality.

      And I’ve said the same shit about how Gearbox sold their soul to another studio to make the trash known as Aliens Colonial Marines and no one made a big deal. But I blame a consulting firm and everyone gets hostile.

      TLDR: you can agree with the stance of something but still hate how they contribute to something being bad.
