Sweet Baby Inc.是一家加拿大叙事设计与咨询工作室,总部位于蒙特利尔。公司由前育碧开发人员(包括编剧金·贝莱尔和产品经理达维德·贝达尔)创立,为开发中的电子游戏叙事提供咨询服务,以促进游戏叙事和开发商的多元、平等和包容。Sweet Baby曾为多家开发商和游戏提供咨询,包括《Sable》、《战神:诸神黄昏》和《心灵杀手2》。2023年,该公司被认为提倡“觉醒文化”,因此遭到网民抨击。[不中立]

争议

编辑

2023年10月,该公司参与的《心灵杀手2》推出后,在游戏论坛Kiwi Farms英语Kiwi Farms上受到一名用户的批评,称是“游戏史上最大的丑闻之一”[21]。类似的抨击也出现在4chanReddit等论坛。[22]此类批评在2024年1月一名Steam玩家列出“避开Sweet Baby公司参与过的觉醒文化游戏列表”后剧增[3][21][23][24],此后连埃隆·马斯克等人也批评Sweet Baby,马斯克称其“就是游戏行业的祸害,他们能做的就是让游戏变糟糕,劝退玩家”。[25][26]

2024年6月9日,有中国大陆微博用户“兲虎”声称,Sweet Baby裹挟要求《黑神话:悟空》的发行商游戏科学勒索700万美元,经国外媒体、推主转发后引发激烈讨论,很多网民借此机会抨击Sweet Baby倡导的“觉醒文化”毁掉了很多游戏。[27][28]曾撰文抨击游科、支持Sweet Baby公司的IGN记者Rebekah Valentine则对此传闻表示否认。[29]
