@Sindayl it's a weird mix of both. Some of our out of touch corpo mandates did regard diversity...and honestly diversity means something really silly to the capitalist. Executives ruin things but pretending that bland corpo fake diversity isn't harmful kinda means you believe it has zero impact which just isn't true.
I mean... Good I guess. No reason for a Japanese company to be worried about employing westerners. As a long time SE enjoyer, I would rather they focused on developing games in Japan.
Also I actively hate the western gaming market. Back when I was a kid, the most popular publications lashed out so weirdly against eastern games and it really hasn't stopped. I don't get it but pretty much made me realize the western games industry is always weirdly hateful in some identity oriented way.
