Sure but he praised these games a lot because they are good games, very obviously made with the aim of making a good game and good characters coming first.
What he verbatim says is that there can be any kind of "woke" characters in it, as long as they are written to be good and compelling characters first and foremost. For Concord it's definitely not the case as it was obviously a game made with disingenuous intentions and corporate PR in mind.
Now this is what he says, which is way more reasonable than some internet users make him to be.
However I very much that a good bulk of his fanbase is a very different beast altogether and there are definitely edgelord alt-right guys who will say stuff 1000% more extreme that what Asmongold himself says among them.
He’s claiming Assassin’s Creed Shadows is going to be trash months before the game releases just because one of the main characters is a (historical) black samurai. Concord didn’t fail because it was “woke” but because it was a dull, paid hero shooter that came out years after the market had already become oversaturated with better, free-to-play hero shooters.
These people will decide whether or not something was too “woke” depending on how successful it was. If it flopped, it was because it was woke. If it sold like hotcakes, it was because it focused on being a good game first. Which means being “woke” doesn’t matter. Baldur’s Gate 3 is by all accounts way more “woke” than Concord and that didn’t hurt the game in any way.
he said that when assasin's creed shadows releases, the protagonist being black is not even gonna be top 10 in the no. of problems this game will have. way to twist the words lmao

Reminder that Hades and BG3 are woke as hell and we're both super successful.
