Which is why I was asking about Concord, I still don't know if it's any good or bad, it's hard to tell because people decided for it to be bad without even knowing what it was... maybe it really is bad, but who knows, certainly not the people pushing that pathetic agenda, gaming is just one more front for them to try to push it. I specifically choose your post to quote, even as your reply was not for me, because even as I agree with most of what you said, I feel like the follow up to my original post is getting a little too out of hand. I certainly am tired too of this "let's fight the woke culture" bravado, even if a lot less than you from the little I saw and see you say about your past here and there in the forums, but my post was to raise a concern about potentially ok or good games completely bombing because this people now seems like to have the power to make that happen, which doesn't paint a good future for gaming at all, really didn't want to stir up potential fights in the thread. |
The people fighting woke culture also see it as they are tired of the 'let's push woke culture into everything' crescendo, so you can see the problem. One side seems to want woke to be part of everything, and the other, who originally was ok with woke being it's own thing, is now totally against woke because they aren't ok with it being part of literally everything.
It's not hard to see why either. If you're a fan of historical accuracy in games let's say, then that genre will no longer exist with a full blown woke culture. If you wanted to make a game about Native Americans before the white man came around, you couldn't, because it would lack the diversity and inclusion necessary. You would need to have whites, blacks, etc, in the game. You also couldn't just have deer and bison, you would need to have monkeys, tigers, koala's, etc. It's obvious that makes no sense, if you wanted to make the game as historically accurate as possible. So do those type of games become unacceptable, because getting rid of them would be making things less inclusive and less diverse.
It is sad that it might be coming to the point of good games, or potential future great games bombing, simply because they have some woke in them, but when you have those backing woke making it clear that the push into everything isn't going to stop, then what do you expect from those who aren't ok with that?
Getting out of hand because some aren't being reasonable and are jumping to conclusions. I just gave you an answer to your question. That's it.
Concord is a weird one from an audience reaction and review perspective. It's muddy and not all that clear to pinpoint why it's doing so poorly exactly, which rarely happens with games. Looking at it from a distant wide angle view, it's like there's a lack of interest from most gamers period. That's besides those who don't want PS to succeed at making popular GAAS games.
