| the-pi-guy said: Concord isn't even "woke". It's just being cherry picked since it failed, so certain people can claim they won their culture war. If it did even moderately well, almost no one would have said it was "woke". Black Myth Wukong was mentioned like 20 pages ago. I think the ironic part is that if the devs weren't openly anti-feminist, the game would have been massively celebrated by the "woke" people. The game is a huge deal to Chinese culture and the games success is a huge step for more authentic Chinese representation in the industry. |
There isn't a single white guy in the game, and that was on purpose (I think a dev said so?).
Instead theres black females with purple hair and stuff like that...
A robot with pronouns.... I mean common.
Yes its woke.
You can tell by the models and skins and Armour, they have for sale.
The game play isn't bad from what I heard... its just its 40$ (when other hero shooters are free), and has characters that are too generic and boring.
People want good looking characters and sexy ladies in games.... it sucks to hear but it sells. Esp if your game is free to play, and lives off of selling skins ect.
If you go a differnt route, and dont think you can recoupe costs that way..... and instead have to price yours way above the competition out there, it better be the best damn hero shooter ever made (if you want it to be successfull). Concord was just barely avg when it came to gameplay.
The woke spin, didn't do it any favors either.
(it probably didn't directly kill it, but overall I think its a net negative. You can't have fat black ladies with purple hair, as characters, and expect skin sales to be high imo. Look at Tracer from overwatch.... its like one of the most searched for porn terms on some porn sites lol. People wont even remember the names of the characters in Concord, in a month or two. It'll be "the fat black chick" "the robot" ect ect)
Anyways too many hero shooters out there already.
I wish they would drop makeing all these GAAS games, and instead do some single player ones.
