Concord is Sony's biggest failure in gaming history.

Why is "woke" Overwatch a success?

People will accept an average game that is thematically aligned with their values/interests, and may even stretch themselves to allow for a great game (or movie) that isn't..
..but they are far less likely to accept a game that is average or poor, that also runs counter to their interests or values.

There are woke successes, but it may be too much of a hurdle for a game that is woke.. and not great.. to climb, while a game than is non-woke, and just average, might still find some success.

Or...Hear me out, Overwatch and Valorant succeeded because WOKE! (I don't seriously believe this, Lol).

Concord would have failed even if it had twenty white dudes in the cast, Lol. Nobody has actually explained why Concord itself is "woke" I mean we have complaints but as far as I can see, Concord doesn't have a single confirmed LGBTQ+ character, it only has one character who uses "They/Them" pronouns and it has a dude who looks white but people are saying isn't white so Idk if he's white but he looks white to me. I was told it has DEI writing consultants on it so I even wasted time checking the credits and found none.

Battleborn, Lawbreakers, Gigantic (Temp Back; Died Earlier), Crucible, Paragon all failed and none were "woke"

Concord is mid in an extremely competitive market with unappealing designs and shit marketing, I would bet anything that the vast majority of gamers haven't even heard about Concord let alone this "woke" stuff and they sure as shit ain't investigating like myself which character is LGBTQ+ and all that, Lol. Fuck they probably wouldn't even notice the "They/Them" pronouns

This is forum users seriously overestimating how much gamers at large give a damn about this stuff or even notice it.
