2 at most.I see a lot of work visas
The vision for black youth about the game industry is similar to the music or entertainment industry. We love to play and consume it, but typically aren't presented with the thought that you can be a part of developing or managing it.
We have influence and play the games, yet here we are with such low representation in the industry. I feel like the behind the scenes aspect of producing a game or anything for that matter isn't visible enough to some people so they don't even think about it being a possibility.
...and it starts with our education and school system, and how it's limiting kids potential outlook on life simply based off of their zipcode

Hope their game flops and they're forced to file for bankruptcy, and the CEO is forced to turn tricks. But they're the same guys behind Apex Legends right?
Bruh they make over 6 figures, not even citizens and cant vote
yet no one bats an eye.
While natural born americans struggling, on welfare cant find a job.

Wat does one have to do with the other, unless you saying the Americans got passed over a game dev job and now can't find a job?
Yes.
But to their credit, they did make the characters in Apex pretty diverse. There's only 1 white man in the game as of today.
It's a restriction on salaries for those under work visas. They can't make that much, which is why they are chosen over citizens

I can't speak on the gaming industry but working in the medical industry I can say this is not the whole truth. There are plenty of us who are educated but aren't given the opportunity because people above don't feel like we are worthy of these type of positions making this type of money or they rather outsource the position so they can save some money. Heck I have to sort through a bunch of trash resume right now to try to find a security analyst and I'm more concerned about if the person understands english well enough for me to be able to train them. I do agree that the education system is trash and does hinder the progress of black kids but that is only part of the much larger problem.
They literally put the 1 nikka dead center of the pic
To be honest, with how exploitative the gaming industry is when it comes to its employees, unless its in high level roles, I wouldn't want to see more black people going into the industry.
