What? :confused:

He was there for quite a few years...and the US doesn't do the contractor thing like SA...they don't need to prove much to lay off

Was he?

And of course the US has contractors. Finish project - move on. I'm saying that's a possibility here. Or he was fired.

SJW's got each other's back.

Manveer Heir was tweeting racist BS all the way back in 2014 while doing work for Bioware. AFAIK Bioware has never released even a statement condemning his outbursts or even distancing themselves from his tweets. In fact quite the opposite. Heir has tweeted thanks to Aaron Flyn BioWare's GM and Yannick Roy Bioware's Studio Director for their support in letting him "speak on things". So it seems he's faced no repercussions for his vitriol in all his years working for Bioware and merely left at the end of his contract.

Heir was quite the SJW darling a few years back after a GDC talk he gave. Here he is interviewed by the PC gaming website rockpapershotgun.com

So I'm about 2 hours in, so far pretty standard ME fare, story has been good far , some pretty annoying physics, combat has been a little more smooth than before. Still lots of dialog and talking but that's par for the course with ME. The ship you get is pretty gorgeous though, even if I haven't quite figured out how to mine stuff yet. Will I buy it ? Likely ;)

I'll buy this once I can get it for less than R600. Hopefully by then they would have addressed some of the issues. Still very disappointed by this. Gamers should not be rewarding developers by paying R950 plus for crap like this. It is supposed to be AAA after all.

Moral fibre for sale. R400.
 
people are fretting cause a certain preset doesn't contain a white skin tone? What the f, jeez people need to get a life.

From the reddit post,

There is a white skin option in the game. This post is misleading. Use preset 3 for FemRyder you can be whiter than a piece of paper.
Different presets have access to different skin tones. A weird choice but to suggest you can't have white skin in the game is an outright lie.

just got the game. also confused by this. not only are some of the presets clearly white, you can make them much whiter...and even other presets can be whitened.
I don't really see what the issue is. I think some people want to be able to have paper white skin for any preset they choose.

I think that most couch critics has come to this conclusion by being overly gullible, and obviously the Manveer Heir debacle.

Hey man. We want to play with characters that look like us, okay? That's what video games are about, being relatable and realistic.

You are going to be looking at it for 120 hours. I don't want 120 hours of white hate in my face.

Uhm, do you even access the links to make any comprehension than your own assumption? You are obsessed with Manveer Heir. Allow me to quote Ian S. Frazier‏,

@Sapphire_lily There are some limits to the tone range based on the texture of the actual scanned head. We're looking into fixing via patch.

@gaiden0090 @Sapphire_lily Definitely not day 1, that's already out. Potentially down the road. We're in early investigations now.

@tibermoon @Sapphire_lily So we can't make white characters? Wow this is very political uncorrect. Asians are white too! What've happend?!

@JFilipJ @Sapphire_lily You *can* make white characters. It's just that SOME of the preset heads have limited tone range due to the texture.

Basically, the people, whether they would have or would have not purchased or played the game, demanded a white tone range on all the given scanned heads. Because, Manveer Heir has inspired these people with a cause. Fixing? More like extending the tone range on the other ‘non-white’ models.

It should have been there from the start. The fact that it is huge issue just confirms it.
