Here&apos;s a great breakdown of what exactly that entails from <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marykanpie\/status\/1765390220940185854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a narrative designer that&apos;s actually worked with Sweet Baby before<\/a>, and is currently working on Insomniac&apos;s Wolverine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It starts with: [a] dev team has an idea. Maybe they already have an outline of their story and a core gameplay loop. Maybe they\u2019ve got a whole script and a playable build. Either way, something is missing,&#8221; <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marykanpie\/status\/1765390323566485568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mary Kenney writes<\/a>.

The dev team doesn\u2019t take the note. It really is that simple.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bafflingly, this isn&apos;t the first time in recent days that game developers have had to dispel such rumours. Here&apos;s Kyle Rowley, director of Alan Wake 2, having to set the record straight about Saga Anderson&apos;s ethnicity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:587px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:52.13%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pnmZqYV595mTLDa7Pj9g8o\" name=\"Sweet Baby Twitter 1.png\" alt=\"A quote tweet that reads: \"It's absolutely not true.\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/a-company-called-sweet-baby-inc-has-become-the-target-of-anti-woke-gamers-because-it-offers-consultancy-work-an-industry-standard-service-thats-been-normal-for-years-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"587\" height=\"306\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: @TimePirateNinja on Twitter\/X.)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To rephrase the obvious: Sweet Baby is about as capable of &apos;forcing&apos; a game developer to make grand, sweeping changes to its story and characters as a contracted artist, musician, or catering company staff worker for office birthdays is. It&apos;s the prime business model of consulting companies to offer <em>consultation, <\/em>not orders.<\/p>\n<p>In that sense, Sweet Baby&apos;s work is literally a non-event. Not in the sense that its unimportant\u2014I mean that its work is so normal that it should surprise no-one. Yes, Sweet Baby explicitly consults on issues including the accurate representation of marginalised groups. That is what it helps with.<\/p>\n<p>But if that wasn&apos;t important to the people making the games they work on, then Sweet Baby just\u2026 wouldn&apos;t be hired. The idea that Sweet Baby is somehow doing &apos;bad work&apos; doesn&apos;t pan out either.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet-baby-isn-apos-t-ruining-games-obviously-6\">Sweet Baby isn&apos;t ruining games, obviously<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"5FAaLRP39pwVb6usnoNKTM\" name=\"God of War Ragnarok.png\" alt=\"An image of Kratos from God of War Ragnarok sat in a frigid cave, while his son enters stage left with a deer.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/a-company-called-sweet-baby-inc-has-become-the-target-of-anti-woke-gamers-because-it-offers-consultancy-work-an-industry-standard-service-thats-been-normal-for-years-2.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Santa Monica Studio)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A second, even more baffling strain of criticism around Sweet Baby is that it&apos;s &#8220;ruining games&#8221; somehow. Most recently, Sweet Baby was hired to help consult on Suicide Squad, which hasn&apos;t been doing great by <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/warner-bros-aims-to-increase-focus-on-free-to-play-and-live-service-games-because-disappointments-like-suicide-squad-make-the-big-budget-business-very-volatile\/\">Warner Bros. own admissions<\/a>. If you&apos;re wondering what character design and story elements have to do with an ill-advised live service game\u2014yeah, me too. But let&apos;s look at Sweet Baby&apos;s portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, Sweet Baby has been called in to work on some genuinely solid games like God of War Ragnar\u00f6k, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, Marvel&apos;s Spider-Man 2, and Alan Wake 2\u2014which got an 88 from us in our <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/alan-wake-2-review\/\">Alan Wake 2 review<\/a>. In the interest of fairness, there are some less-than-solid titles there too, like Gotham Knights and Dungeons &#038; Dragons: Dark Alliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sweet Baby has consulted on games of varying quality because, obviously, it&apos;s not actually responsible for a game being good. It&apos;s barely even responsible for the quality of a game&apos;s story. It&apos;s the narrative designers on those respective titles who have final say, and you can receive the best critique in the world and not use it.<\/p>\n<p>So why Sweet Baby?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"picking-a-fight-doesn-apos-t-matter-who-6\">Picking a fight, doesn&apos;t matter who<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ommJ8GGSjvw9z4qe5eHKXG\" name=\"Suicide Squad Joker.png\" alt=\"An image of the new Joker from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a younger, camper take on the classic character.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/a-company-called-sweet-baby-inc-has-become-the-target-of-anti-woke-gamers-because-it-offers-consultancy-work-an-industry-standard-service-thats-been-normal-for-years-3.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Rocksteady Games)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Because it&apos;s there. That might be the whole thing, folks.<\/p>\n<p>If you&apos;re against games with inclusive casts or what-have-you, it&apos;s growing harder to tow that particular line. Such games have proven (not that they needed to) that they can be both good and bad, in the ways that <em>any game<\/em> can be.<\/p>\n<p>It&apos;s hard to say, for example, that non-heterosexual folks like myself are &apos;ruining video games&apos; when Baldur&apos;s Gate 3 is inherently supportive of queer players, and just so happens to be one of the best RPGs of the decade. Again, not that any of this needs disproving\u2014but if you&apos;ve got a culture war to wage, you need to up recruitment somehow.<\/p>\n<p>It&apos;s far easier to believe that some insidious outside influence is sneaking its cabalist silver tendrils into your favourite hobby, rather than admitting that most gamers don&apos;t actually care. It&apos;s a simple sell to invent a version of a company that&apos;s somehow forcing people at the metaphorical gunpoint to turn up the diversity dial rather than just\u2026 being a service that is clearly useful to <em>some<\/em> developers, telling certain kinds of stories.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/a-company-called-sweet-baby-inc-has-become-the-target-of-anti-woke-gamers-because-it-offers-consultancy-work-an-industry-standard-service-thats-been-normal-for-years\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&apos;re gently confused as to why everyone was upset at an allegedly-sweet baby, then you&apos;re certainly not alone.
