In 2007, a controversy shook the video game world: Resident Evil 5, the latest installment in a globally renowned series, was accused of racism! The game's trailer features the hero, a white soldier named Chris Redfield, in an unspecified African village. Tasked with investigating a corporation suspected of producing a mutagenic virus, he is suddenly attacked by a horde of zombies, all of whom are black. He proceeds to mow them down in rapid succession. Some denounce these images, while others downplay their violence. In the face of this controversy, how does the video game industry approach diversity?
