What is a "Woke" Game

is the context still "woke" games?

I thought most muslim countries view homosexuallity as a death penality.
These are not countries or peoples, that are accepting of that sort of stuff, in video games either imo.

Not sure how big a market, the muslim world is for video games or buying them.
But it all circles back to "the consumer is always right" (if you want to sell them something).

or stand on principle, or and ignore that potential market.

Uganda is a Christian-majority country with the death penalty for homosexuality.

Religion is inherently immoral, abusive and judgemental in general.

People don't care if entertainment is political. Most entertainment that does anything interesting is political. What people don't like is when the politics are at odds with their own views.

Many games use politics to drive a narrative forward, Bioshock is a good example.
Games like Halo use religion as a story telling aid to add depth to it's story.

Imagine how much less depth the Covenant would have if it wasn't for the Prophets sprouting their religious rhetoric to keep the covenant under their thumb and use that to drive their reasoning to activate the halo rings?
And you are right, most people don't care... I am Atheist and enjoyed that part of Halo as it adds character and story dynamic.

Same with LGBTQI characters, Mass effect and Dragon age I simply didn't care, they are aspects of those characters, they aren't all those characters are... I.E. Kaidan Alenko.
