We design games for everyone, no matter where they are or who they are, and we use all sorts of people from all kinds of backgrounds to bring them to life. Truth is, we cannot expect diversity in our players and originality in our games without first nurturing it in our people. A great saga needs all sorts of heroes. And that's it.
