Yes but keeping Kathleen Kennedy onboard is a one way ticket to hemorrhaging money at this point. Destroying Indiana Jones should be the last straw.

The same episode said they liked Miles Morales and that making fun of "woke stuff" all the time was lazy

Being a great game usually helps in that regard.

Also what was woke about GoW?
There was a black girl in it and Kratos displays emotions other than anger openly

Fuck those people him tearing up saying goodbye to Atreus and weeping tears of happiness when he sees the path Faye has sent him down will lead to him being beloved as the new Allfather are tremendous moments.

Yes because they were scared to go all the way because yall lefties are fascists and theyd be cancelled/censored into oblivion if they were allowed to have their way fully.

Gotta love how south park get called both a radical leftist and a radical conservative shows when they have been making fun of everyone for a long time

Remember when you were too scared to go full mask off in that other topic? Looks like you're regaining some backbone, good for you, chudders.

Ok after check the actual stock chart of disney, it seems like rightists seem to ignore the majority of it raising and the last decade(and reducing after covid restrictions ended) it doesn't even remotely seem to be close to bad


That's not the REAL Disney that Kathleen Kennedy personally killed and no longer exists because it went Woke with all the failed Star Wars movies!

CoD WWII had women soldiers, and people lost their minds.

Didn't one of those CoD games (can't remember which, they were both set in WW2) also replace the Nazi swastika with some other German symbol like the Iron Cross in campaign missions and people lost their minds over that too? I remember quite a few people freaking out over "historical accuracy", but I'm sure there were some who secretly just didn't like seeing their beloved symbol of white fascist supremacy be removed.

And yet, Forspoken & Saint's Row-- both of which were definitely shit on for 'going woke'-- were both so terrible that they destroyed the studios that made them.

Yes, which suggests, at the end of the day, a game being "woke" doesn't impact its sales a noticeable amount, in either direction.

Which begs the question why people like you get so upset over something being "woke" at all?

^I'm not upset, maybe you're projecting.

But compared to the rest of this topic, which has been entirely, 'all these woke games have sold amazingly well' I merely pointed out a couple of woke games that were horrendous failures. If you want to make an argument, then you should look at all the evidence.

They still buy the game, they just complain about it. Let's be honest. If it was not for Jk Rowling's political views, they would have whined about Hogwarts legacy being "woke" due to trans and gay characters existing

Almost as if the bellyaching of "woke" over non-cishet white dudes existing in media is not an indicator of the quality of the piece of media but just bellyaching over non-cishet white dudes existing in media.
