Suleiman died (1566) when Murad was 20, and his father became the new sultan, Selim II. At the age of 18 he was appointed sancakbeyi of Saruhan. After his ceremonial circumcision in 1557, Murad's grandfather, the Sultan Suleiman I, appointed him sancakbeyi (governor) of Akşehir in 1558. He received a good education and learned Arabic and Persian language. 2.3 Ottoman Activity in the Horn of Africaīorn in Manisa on 4 July 1546, Şehzade Murad was the oldest son of Şehzade Selim and his powerful wife Nurbanu Sultan.He was a great patron in the arts where he commissioned the Siyer-i-Nebi and other illustrated manuscripts. Relations with Elizabethan England were cemented during his reign as both had a common enemy in the Spanish. However, the empire would be beset by increasing corruption and inflation from the New World which led to unrest among the Janissary and commoners. His reign also saw the empire's expanding influence on the eastern coast of Africa. The long-independent Morocco was at a time made a vassal of the empire but they would regain independence in 1582. His rule saw battles with the Habsburg monarchy and exhausting wars with the Safavids. Murad 4 July 1546 – 16 January 1595) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1574 until his death in 1595. Until then, the cis white males in the industry in positions of power and authority, need to put in the work to be more cognizant of the messages their games are sending, and open themselves up to receive feedback and constructive criticism as to what they could be doing better, instead of being reactionary and defensive when someone says, "Hey, maybe we don't need to put tits on our intergalactic space fox.Murad III ( Ottoman Turkish: مراد ثالث, romanized: Murād-i sāli s Turkish: III. Rooting out the toxic masculinity, racism, sexism, and homophobia will go a long way to making this industry more enticing to work in for marginalized groups. And while having more women and people of color, and other marginalized groups in better positions within the industry is exactly what we need, the main roadblock to that is the overwhelmingly toxic and hostile culture that discourages marginalized groups from even wanting to bother to stick around long enough to fight tooth and nail to have their voices heard, their opinions considered, and their hard work acknowledged and rewarded. This industry needs to do better, both internally, and externally. It's why I ultimately went back to the industry, and crossed my fingers that I'd land at a studio that would value me as a person. I love to be a part of a collaborative environment that gets to make cool stuff that players will hopefully enjoy and have fun with. The most frustrating aspect of this is that I fricking love working in this industry. At some point, your resolve just gets worn down, and you're like, "Why am I killing myself for a studio that's literally making me feel unwanted, underappreciated, incompetent, and like my work/life balance isn't important or worth a damn?" I've left the industry twice during my career because of the toxicity and outright soul-crushing atmosphere found in many, many game development studios and publishers. As a Black male, I've experienced much of the same in my gaming career (minus the sexual harassment), and I don't find it even remotely surprising that when I finally did make manage to make headway in my career, it was at a studio with a lot of diversity (from the CEO, down to QA), with a health work culture and a refreshing lack of toxicity and hostility towards the women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people working at the studio. I've known more than a few women that left the gaming industry altogether because of either harassment, discrimination, a hostile and toxic work environment, and just being treated like they aren't capable in their jobs, and need to be mansplained to and micro-managed every two minutes. While that sounds incredibly good on paper, the reality is that men in this industry make it extremely, and I mean, extremely, difficult for women (and people of color) to ascend up the career ladder. ![]()
