I hate this kind of comment. A bad game doing poorly that happens to be "woke" isn't evidence that being "woke" made it bad. For example, Dragon Age Origins is pretty "woke" (especially for its time) but it's recognized as an amazing game by pretty much everyone. If you make a great game that's written well, it's probably going to be received well. The issue is modern AAA gaming just makes mass audience slop that is devoid of passion and dictated by suits to chase trends. Being "woke" doesn't matter. Being good matters.

You are on the right track, but it did not "happen to be woke", some people bring politics into things that should not and the higher ups just want to cash on modern trends... The only thing everyone should care about is making something good. I very much doubt that the people OP described had an agenda or were annoying and thought the only thing good about them were their gender or color or religion... No! They were trying to be pioneers and make money 🤑
