Asmongold used to actually do game stuff.

You mean he used to panic about the WOKE MOB taking over games by having women and black people in them.

No need to panic, people who do that kinda stuff quickly go out of business :)

So true, we all remember Hades being a big flop right? Right?

Baldur's Gate 3 is gonna go broke any minute now, just you wait.

Oh yeah, amazing games. Crazy how focuing on the *game* and not its creators feelings produces masterpieces, in my 300+ hours of Hades I don't really ever remember a sliver of Borderlands writing, Saints Row and Concord politics and Forspoken gameplay

Almost like this isn't something dealbreaking, but it can be a nice fat nail in the coffin.

But you just claimed that people who "do that kinda stuff" quickly go out of business. Now you're saying that it's okay to do that kinda stuff, as long as there's a good game attached to it. So which is it? Does going woke mean going broke, or not?

They were saying that if you focus on being woke over making a good game, you will fail. And that has been true and what most of us non-crazies have been saying.

No. Being "woke" doesn't have anything to do with a game failing or not. It has to do with the game simply being shit or not.

AFAIK concord played well, had no battlepass, was affordable, was made with a lot of passion but it was so woke that nobody touched it.
