What is a "Woke" Game

It has been branded woke, so it doesnt really matter if it is or not unfortunately. So I did answer his question.

You didn't. This game:

-Didn't release on Steam

-Had no physical release on consoles until 3 months ago

-Launched very close to Spiderman 2 and Mario Bros. Wonder

-It's a sequel to a game that didn't sell very well to begin with

-It's a survival horror. Even beloved games in the survival horror genre fail to sell well.

But sure, it didn't do well because of the black woman.

Games don't fail only because they're woke. Usually there's tons of factors involved in their failure. Concord is a famous one, but even that one didn't fail just because it's a woke game.

We even have woke games that are very beloved and successful, so this whole 'go woke go broke' is just nonsense that people say when a shitty game fails. But then we have Baldur's Gate 3, which sold very well, it's beloved by many and it's a woke game... and these people are all very quiet. Curious.

You really are obsessed with this black woman arent you?

Anyway, I shouldnt have answered his question to begin with. I knew it was a gotcha question, but I felt like I had to since he did answer my question. There is no way to prove that a game failed because of being woke alone, he knew that. Thats why he asked the question. Alan Wake 2 was just the closest answer I could give.
