343i on some racist fukk shyt with Halo Infinite's Juneteenth cosmetics

[Ghetto Denizen]

As a black person working in tech and familiar with the tools I can tell you this was 100% intentional.

I mean just look at their studio photo, not a breh in sight, not even a token breh

Been gone, this just reaffirms 343 as literally the dumbest studio MS has

Halo can be so many things, but they keep fukkin up

343 is a total waste of a company. I was considering going back to Halo Infinite when co-op dropped, but fukk that. They have done nothing aside from devaluing what was once a top tier franchise.

Like said above, the ‘tools’ excuse is bullshyt and them trying to pass that off shows you how dumb they think we all are.

Edit: What I meant to say is that its an insult to our intelligence. They fact that they think they can just blame it on the tools and we will just believe them at face value.

Considering that there are no Black People working at the studio, this is even more offensive and unacceptable as it was probably an inside joke that slipped out.

Wow a monkey really???


I’m glad I haven’t played Halo since 4 and that game was trash


This y’all game developers

Edit: are the brehs for on here still going to support and play?

 

[Calibrated]

They will not leave us alone.

 

[Womb Raider]

Y’all surprised?

 

[Deezay]

Foh!
They on some shyt.

 

[Bathing Ape]

Reddit is going in on they ass. At this point Microsoft needs to cleanse 343

 

[Instant Classic]

Embarrassing, and it seems like this will be another instance of gaming industry not being considerate towards us and same ol empty pandering during certain time of the year. As a Halo fan i am disappointed and I want Microsoft to call out and can whoever is behind this

It doesn’t really make sense that this was a purposeful racist statement either. Why would a racist person name it that? They know it would be figured out immediately. If 343i is racist why the hell are they even making Juneteenth skins in the first place.

It was probably just some racist place holder name some edgy cac developer added for laughs and forgot to take out.

With the type of stories we hear about from these cac dominated tech companies, I wouldn't be surprised if this was normal behavior at the office. Probably use homophobic slurs when designing LGBT shyt, they just normally fix it before release.
