@Xirtahm: Staff disagrees with some members of the community at times such as with numeric score relevance. By GameSpot's standards, an 8 out of 10 is a good game.
@zero_juice: I assure you that there can be visitors in a country such as China, part of the population, without being a citizen. I could base it on that definition you used as well.
@Moonco: If the majority of this community actually believes the same as you regarding this matter, then I am fine with that. I would rather be correct in the minority than incorrect in the majority.
@putaspongeon: Neither. When people say things like there is plenty of diversity in gaming, and a significant group of people both playing games and developing games say otherwise, there is probably a disconnect somewhere. Interestingly, I have not heard any game developers publicly say that there is enough diversity.
@DamnILoveGames: An issue in video gaming is that the same argument could be made for a lack of diversity in characters, but the strong male protagonist or strong female protagonist have been standards in mainstream gaming for decades for a number of reasons. If you would like to discuss other ethnicities as part of the diversity argument, it seems that this concatenation is the popular move, but the same arguments against these groups can be utilized for gaming as well as other aspects of media over the decades.
In a society with more than one type of person or thinking, people are coming to realize how diverse media is not without justification of exclusivity.
@Saidrex: I would call that a disconnect between gameplay and narrative, but the story is presented as realistic. Considering this is an article about the writer of Tomb Raider, I would think that this would be the focus of the comments.
