Don't I deserve my own game?
A year ago I wrote tongue-in-cheek list based on African-American secondary video game characters who deserve their own game. The list was posted on bitmob. The list was meant to coincide with Black History Month. And a year later there still seems to be a lack of change.
The list got a lot of traction on the net, especially when kotaku posted the article in a their weekly Top Lists post.
A year later minorities are rarely featured in video games. A sad reality, but understandable when games are tailored to the same cultural audience that movies, and television cater to.
Are there any solutions?
Not really, unless the customers demand more diversity in video games. Do you clamor for more diversity in games? Did you care Issac Clarke is white? What if Master Chief is Asian?
