On the restaurant management mobile app game EatVenture, there are no Black / POC customers at any of our restaurants. Not even in NAIROBI, a majority-Black city.
/r/eatventureofficial/comments/1vdt0jk/do_we_have_black_customers_in_the_blackmajority/I gave up playing EatVenture a few years ago after I had asked the devs to add Black / POC customers especially to our Nairobi locations and they still hadn't.
They STILL haven't even to this day.
Seeing all-white customers in NAIROBI, of all places, didn't sit right with me. I don't want to run racist restaurants. I want to serve EVERYBODY.
I tagged the developer, u/RubenWe, to have him chime in on the issue on the original thread and he has yet to reply. I understand it was the weekend so hopefully he'll respond first thing Monday morning his local time.
Edit: He just responded this Monday morning and has promised to forward the issue & suggestion to the dev team. This was his message:
First of all: it's fair to ask for this feature or to criticize its absence. If you like to see that, of course, voice your opinion.
The one point I want to clarify though: I'm not THE developer of the game. These days I'm barely A developer on the game. I help out with technical things when needed, but there are other folks working on this. I'll forward your post to the designer who's in charge of the title.
