God of war, Horizon Dawn Zero, the Last of us, Spider-Man, Starfield, Baldur's gate 3.

And then, there's the stock value of the anti woke crowd...https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/1/8/AAUgT5AAE_Vy.jpg

Being a great game usually helps in that regard.

Also what was woke about GoW?

Knowing these smucks, they're probably mad that Kratos seemed less mad at everything.

All you listed were AAA first party exclusives aside from BG3. Those usually tend to do pretty well and none of them were really woke at all.

TLoU2 felt pretty damn woke, but despite the awful story the gameplay was still incredible.

Yeah, chuds were complaining about GoW Ragnarok being woke the moment Angrboda was revealed.

Pretty much every game is going to be called "woke" from here on out.

I followed, played and beat both games but didnt hear anything in regards to wokeness. At least nothing compared to the other games where a article or twit goes viral in said regard.

But unfortunately, the anti woke crowd will still think they're actually accomplishing something and will complain louder next time.

Hell, they still think that Bud Light dropping the way it has, is only because of them. Even though both sides boycotted them for opposite reasons

But the game actually had a trans character as a quest giver. Their hatred for the game they never played was ridiculous.

It was anti-woke cause of Rowling but then it had a trans character so those that found it anti-woke suddenly found it to be woke and those that were already avoiding it cause of Rowling continued to avoid it. Everyone else just played the game as if they didn't care too much one way or the other.

You can literally just write the names of their series on google and woke to see right wing propagandists saying they are woke. You can also check user review from metacritics

The hatred is for anything related to JK Rowling. Because she's a terrible human being. So it's great that the developers included a trans character, but Harry Potter's negative association with her will always be there.

User reviews have always been meaningless and twitter propaganda should never be taken seriously by anyone.

Mainstream games will have mainstream success because most people don't pay attention to any of that BS.

Literally the only reasons the bud light boycott worked is because there's too many boomers that drink it. The average age for gamers is 35 and a lot of older gamer barely play anything, so I'd say the biggest demographics to sell games is probably younger than 45

Speaking as someone who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground in terms of finance, that $700b figure seemed too big to be believed, so I looked into it. TIL that Tesla's market cap jumped from a measly $75b to over a frickin' trillion in two years and then fell back to just under $400b two years after that.

Even though the game itself could probably be considered woke, the woke crowd tried to boycott it very unsuccessfully. If ResetEra is banning any mentions of it and certain snowflakes on Reddit did as well, it's not a woke game.

They recently changed the narrative recently that "having gay characters is not woke as not as it's not a forced agenda" just to justify the "woke games" who are doing well.

Kathleen Kennedy is to weird internet nerds what Anthony Fauci is to antivaxxers - a dedicated professional with decades of largely-unsung work under their belts, who all of the sudden ended up with targets on their backs because the worst corners of the internet needed a lightning rod for their grievances.
