Som det er blevet pointeret et hav af gange tidligere, så har både spil- og filmbranchen et potentielt problem med "whitewashing", at tvinge hvide protagonister ind for at appellere mere bredt.
Om det er så er sandt eller ej, så har Watch Dogs 2 en afroamerikansk protagonist i form af Marcus Holloway, og det mener stemmeskuespilleren bag, Ruffin Prentiss, er et stort skridt.
I et nyt interview med Two Left Sticks siger han nemlig, at Marcus Holloway bryder med tendenserne:
"An African-American protagonist that breaks some of the conventions we have become accustomed to seeing is exciting to me. Marcus is a self-taught programmer, hacker, and social engineer. The story of African American programmers and hackers hasn't been told nearly enough. And trust me, they do exist in the real world!"
"I felt an immense responsibility and honor to have this opportunity to tell this story and give it my all. This character represents all the African American people who work in the tech industry but rarely have characters in entertainment that reflect their experience. My hope is that the kid who dreams of being a computer programmer sees this game or this character and feels even more so that they can follow that dream."
