What position is that? Neither the article nor the curated page indicate why they think such a curated list is necessary.

Stolen from a reddit comment after a simple search:

The CEO of said company is a racist+sexist leftist POC that somehow landed a writing gig at Ubisoft after managing social media accounts of 2 small non-game companies. She was promoted during the first great DEI wave following the Baltimore/BLM protests of 2015. She wrote for less than 3 years before leaving and becoming a "narrative" consultant that somehow gets contracted to shape the narrative of some of the biggest AAA titles... She doesn't like games and she's unqualified for the job but the money keeps chasing her regardless. The outcome is that she got rich by being given the chance to destroy your hobby with her deranged world view.

Believe whatever you want, but that's the complaint I guess?

And that really says everything, doesn't it?

I feel bad for those who actually deserve what they've achieved, but have a cloud of doubt hanging over them because they achieved it at the same time as all these ridiculous policies.

same time as all these ridiculous policies.

What policies? Best I can tell SBI is a company developers choose to consult with, there is no policy forcing them to do so.

I feel bad for those who actually deserve what they've achieved,

So to be clear, you believe this list is full of quality games created by people who deserve success, and this list exists in order to... What? Warn people not to give them the success they deserve?

Talking about all the policies to hire people based on superficial qualities instead of actual merit, not just with this one company.

So you're saying your comment has nothing to do with SBI or what's actually being talked about here? It's just some random comment you threw in for some reason?
