PlayStation’s Concord, a game reportedly in the works for eight years trying to break into the hero shooter market, has launched with sub-700 concurrent players on Steam
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.
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. ~
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.
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.

In what way are they targeting the woke demographic? Is it because aliens?
Who the fuck is avoiding buying games because they aren’t “woke” or “diverse” enough?
Buying forced diversity bug studio shlop you mean. Plenty of tiny diverse indie games that do well for themselves out there.
I’m seeing all of these down votes but no one has been able to refute this point.

You. Are. Delusional.
Cause your comment is blindingly stupid.
It’s really hard to refute willful stupidity. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
Plenty of people have refuted the point.
But please, keep embarrassing yourself, incel.
Spend enough time on Lemmy and you’ll see this is not unusual or uncommon.
I down voted you, and that doesn’t make you right. It’s because you are annoying, and moronic.
