Summary
The original name for Manveer Heir's new game studio that focused on stories of people of color was Big Mouth Games.The former BioWare and Raven Software designer embraces his loudness. "I don't have enough time on this earth to wait for 2,000, 5,000 copies [sold] to shift things," said Heir.One of the ironies of gaming in the US is that black and Hispanic adults play games at higher rates than white adults, and women make up 46 percent of gamers. And the only way to get through the game is to be complicit with those systems," Heir said. Heir said he has ideas for comics, TV and film that could revolve around the Corner Wolves franchise, even while the game is its keystone."My goal is that an Activision, an EA, have to build units that compete with me, because [now they] need a minority-focused studio," said Heir.
