I've had a friend tell me that her stream group (and her) or whatever was happy to see these woke games die. I'm only looking at this superficially but what about this game is woke? I just thought it was shit.
Go woke go broke, just like Baldurs Gate 3 /s
Baldur's Gate is a prime example for people not actually being bothered by the "woke" stuff all that much. It just gets the blame when the product turns out shit because it's an easy tool to explain why everything else about a game sucks.
The mechanics are bad? They must've spent more time arguing how to include pronouns than how to make the game fun.
Buggy? Obviously revisions to make the game more inclusive had more priority.
Are those speculations true? Idk but stuff like the leaked Sweet Baby Inc. talks about how to include more progressive aspects in a game make it seem believable enough for most people.
I think the ridiculousness of the argument is that adding pronoun options during character creation is an almost nothing feature to implement. I would get if there was like a bunch of money and time put into making unique "woke questlines" that you could say that there was a large resource allocation. I wouldn't agree that doing that would be a terrible thing though.
Culture war gamers just like to allocate blame to wokeness when things fail. The successes that contradict their biases are ignored.
