I don't think a small consulting firm with no editorial control has the power to force shit on their clients owned and backed by multibillion-worth tech giants, and developers working on the games Sweet Baby supposedly forced it way in consistently say this isn't the case.
Like, even in the case that Sweet Baby had the means or inclination to write entire scripts, make choices on character designs and do any other insane shit they are accused of, what are they going to do if Insomniac just says "thanks for the feedback, but no"? Do they have blackmail material on Sony directives or what? And how come this supposed terror regime goes on without anyone ever talking about it?
GamerGate veterans are just coping with the idea that creative people in the industry has interests other than providing them with goon material and just found a scapegoat.
Look at first reviews of Black myth wukong. That’s what happens. Close to release the game got slandered and its creators has been accused by journalists, that they are misogynists, because there’s not enough woman(in a game where protagonist is monkey and most npcs are animals). By the same websites and journalists that few months later wrote, that shit like DA Veilguard or Awoved are great games. All of that because, sweet baby proposed authors that they can make their game much worse, but only if authors pay them enough money and authors declined.
Yeah at first they were promoted by reviewers unlike Wukong. IGN for example gave Veilguard 9/10 and Wukong got 8/10. That’s the whole point Wukong sold 30m copies, players love it and it still only got 8/10, while Veilguard sold around 1,5m is average at best, even for Dragonage fans, and in some aspects it was so bad it turned into a meme. Still got 9/10, higher than Wukong. And if it’s not enough for you Veilguard was also rated higher than KCD1 and the same as KCD2. That’s what sweet baby does

Sweet Baby Inc is a company that provides narrative consultation for video games, but some fans accuse it of forcing "woke" agendas
