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
The 3 main females are attractive and have super model bodies.
EA live service garbage that launched at full price, destined to fail no matter what.
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.
Baldur's Gate 3 lets you choose body type, genitalia, and voice all separately, and everyone in the game is pansexual and DTF. It's as woke as anything else that the conservative crowd complains about. You need to have enormous blinders on to things like BG3, Barbie, etc. being massive successes to think that "go woke, go broke" makes any sense. You don't have to make it to a screen that displays pronouns to see that this game was going to flop.
You. Are. Delusional.
