I just don’t understand the insistence on targeting the woke demographic instead of core gamers. They’ve repeatedly shown that they are masters in the complaining department, but when it comes to buying diversity-infused games, they are a no-show.
I’m seeing all of these down votes but no one has been able to refute this point.
Spend enough time on Lemmy and you’ll see this is not unusual or uncommon.
There has to be a point, first. It’s just the old “go woke, go broke” nonsense. It’s the recycled conservative pearl clutching that has always come in when society starts to include those ‘nasty outsiders’. (Minorities.)
Let’s say I entertain the possibility that there is a point.
->Baldur’s Gate 3. . Very ‘woke’. Amazing game.
->Concord Arguably ‘woke’. Crappy game.
Let’s go with a game that flopped and wasn’t advertised as ‘inclusive’ Anthem.
Let’s entertain this further to /really/ drive some nails into the coffin of this ‘point’.
Celeste, a game heavy with queer tones to tell the story. Great game, very popular.
So, that is why most people are walking by this with just a down vote. It’s all it really deserves, but I needed an easy win today. ~
Hope life treats you well, Peace
Baldur’s Gate 3
The 3 main females are attractive and have super model bodies.
Anthem
EA live service garbage that launched at full price, destined to fail no matter what.
Celeste
The pride pin was added in an update and the pride allegory or whatever was confirmed post-launch. Plus it is not in your face and main character does not have an ugly design.
