In March, a team of Xbox managers held a roundtable lunch with a dozen lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender gamers. During the session, held on the sidelines of the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, the Xbox team heard why Microsofts online gaming platform could be a hostile place for people who arent heterosexual, white, and male.
Just 12 hours later, Xbox hosted a party during the same conference. To the teams horror, company organizers had hired women dressed as school girls to dance and socialize with the mostly male crowda choice that undercut the companys outreach to women and seemed to signal a return to the bad old days of booth babes and caveman marketing.

Pffffttt!!
The most recent GTA is from the ghetto perspective,
as in the upcoming Mafia III. If you don’t like
the way games are written, write your own.
So they can now openly discriminate against me in the name of diversity.
And no one sees the irony.
the only game transvestites need to play is “pretend.” Its what they’re doing by not admitting their real “gender” to themselves.
If you will spend $26 billion for Linkedin, you have no common sense to start with.
Microsoft also bought Nokia phones division for $7 billion and sold it a few years later for $300 million.
I’m glad I really don’t care about games much any more.
The last ones I halfway played were the BF1942 and Vietnam series and some MS WWII flight sim.

Only in today’s America could someone be horrified by this.
White males need to sit on their money, if they have any, now.
Especially for things that mostly white guys buy, if and when they pull this pc crap.
Let the market decide. And be careful timing your stock purchases.
“School girls” sounds very creepy. Very. Creepy.
its horrible I tell ya!
LOL
It’s a business. They can market to whatever demographic they think will buy their products.
Joe Biden approves.
Milo is a gamer, he’s gay as hell and this story is going to make him really, REALLY mad.
It’s going to completely disgust him.
I mean he’s not at all going to like the idea of a special, “gay” X-box.
I can’t imagine anything infuriating him more, except maybe a special FEMINIST x-box, with maybe a dildo sticking up out of the top.
LOL -- I think I'd actually pay to see that rant.
Overwhelmingly NASCAR is male.
How many fans would LIKE it if suddenly all the cars were PINK..?
Or lessay at the race fans got Body Shop swag bags..? Think they’d like it..?
Or maybe what if you charged 1/2 entry for all burly men wearing short shorts into the race:
Maybe that’d boost profits..?
I predict this Micrsuck sensitivity will also prove 2b a TOTAL BOONDOGGLE.
Racist
The SJW’s will never rest until they are certain that no one, anywhere, is having a good time.
I thought Gamergate and Base Mom proved it was really stupid to poop on the majority of your customer base, especially trying to entice a smaller group that rarely buys the product and won’t be happy with most compromises.
And the message based video games are overwhelmingly horrible, per walkthroughs I’ve seen on Youtube. For example, there are limited selections that end up with you mocked so you can “understand” their viewpoint plus lots of SJW lectures in the “game”, or it makes a drama out of what does the transgender wear.
