    Anyone who doesn’t play a game because it’s woke, has their head so far up the culture war ass, they have lost all reason.

    It’s also the same people where the message behind more subtle media is lost on them. Starship troopers, for example.

      agreed, there is so much lore more to criticize about this game but of course this is what gets headlines and rage clicks.

      For some reason the second most followed curator on steam is Sweet Baby Inc Detected. Its pretty widespread brain rot.

        Sweet Baby Inc Detected

        Never heard of this. It took me some time to even figure what their comments meant.

        It’s almost comical to see how obsessed people are about this stuff.

        Don’t get me wrong, the commercialization of minority themes and the preachy attitude can get annoying, but it’s hardly a dealbreaker if the gameplay and/or story are good.

        Games are full of extremely stupid and lazy tropes.

          That’s it. The Alan Wake 2 “race change” actually allows for some interesting links between Quantum Leap and the Alan Wake stories, but it was seen as a DEI situation. If a game is bad, it’s generally bad for reasons beyond DEI or wokeness.
