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?

I wonder, is that even a thing though? Or it's just a matter of confirmation bias?

For instance, Wakanda Forever or The Rings of Power do well, crickets. Things like The Marvels or The Acolyte flop, some people come out of the woodwork to blame the movie or series' cultural leaning.

It would be no surprise if it's the same thing with games. I'd dare say that sort of thing has a very minor effect on media consumption. Almost no one is going to boycott something because there is a black elf or conversely because the developer said something misogynist ten years ago.

That's just a degree of fretting about a piece of media (that's likely going to be quickly consumed and soon forgotten) that most normal people do not have.
