This guide's purpose is it to help people identify if narrative development and consultation studio Sweet Baby Inc (SBI) was involved in the development of a game they are interested in.
This guide is supposed to provide the foundation of basic information so users can follow up with their own research regarding SBI's involvement in a video game and its development, so that they can make their own decisions before buying a game.
This guide is not representing any political views, statements, agendas or individuals.
This guide is not calling for boycott, its a tool for individual research of users.
Sweet Baby Inc partners and their studios.
SBI partners and their studios.
This is a list of "partners" and studios working with SBI or are connected to companies that directly work with them.
This list is supposed to help you identify what companies might release games that could have SBI involved in it.
This list is supposed to help people who don't want to buy games that got influenced by Sweet Baby Inc.
The goal of this list is it to help users to easier identify their involvement and nothing else.
This is NOT a boycott list, its supposed to help people.
I highly encourage users to double check.
Just because a game you want to buy was partly developed by a studio connected directly or through proxy to SBI doesn't mean they were involved at all

(Warner Bros. has a full DEI Leadership for diversity. The way they word their goals as DEI sound similar to how SBI performs their narrative consultation. Consultation like this are based on assumptions about hypothetical groups of people they see as a target audience. These "professionals" are proven to be highly subsceptible to artificial outrage and "loud minorities" of people that dont represent even a small fraction of the actual community, group or audience. Therefore decisions made by such a DEI Leadership might have the exact or very similar effect on any form of media that comes from that company. Movies, Games, etc.)

I decided to delete the remaining links since most got removed and I will not directly link to any homepage in order to not encourage DDOS attacks. This guide is a tool to help the users in their own research to see if the developers of a game are involved with Sweet Baby Inc and then make their own decision if they want to buy and play that game or not.
UPDATE LOG
(To reduce the size of the guide I will now only write down dates instead of full logs.)
