Urban-Themed Video Games 'Basically Dead'?
simoniker writes "Midway CMO Steve Allison has been talking about why he thinks the urban game genre isn't worth entering, suggesting of the cancelled Snoop Dogg/John Singleton collaboration Fear & Respect, which was in development at Midway: 'We killed Fear and Respect... because we have enough data-points to know the hood thing is basically dead. It would be dead before it came out. And you don't want to come out on a dead vibe.' Do people really not care about GTA-style urban shooters any more?"
That's easy... he just assumes that everyone in an Urban setting is a minority. Racism comes out by how easy you can see racism.
A non-racist generally doesn't understand or see true racism very easily, racists like this guy see it every day.
