“Go woke, go broke.”

Explain why Baldur's Gate 3 sold 15M copies and won GOTY then?

Calling KCD2 and AC Shadows failures for having black/LGBT characters while y'all's favourite game is the most diverse RPG ever made is insane irony.

Because they called it Baldur's Gate 3.
I didn't finish the fucking thing. Couldn't. Such a boring and janky game. About the only thing novel it does is the flagrant sadism, which I don't enjoy anyway.

They're all literal whores and the game doesn't let you take the position that being a whore is a bad thing. Also the game forces you to take a pro-open borders stance on immigration. It also criticized the player for "kink shaming". It is literally the most woke game of the year. Having a bikini outfit doesn't change that.

i didn't feel BG3 was woke, it had gay stuff but it wasn't forced or out of place, the only thing that did feel a bit odd was the nightsong and her gf, otherwise you are free to play how you want and characters are interesting for the most part

Baldurs Gate 3 came out 3 years ago and circlejerktroons still use it as basically their sole example of a 'woke' game that was successful. It's so sad

Real answer is cause the woke shit is entirely optional and you can play BG3 like an absolute chud.

having woke stuff in the game reduces score. so your game have to be really good to make up for it. BG3 was really good

>Leftists using outliers to prove the norm. Can only ask questions.

>BG3 wasn't marketed as a woke game. Nothing in the trailers showed any of the wokeness.

>even far-right influencers like Asmongold glazed it as a counter to Diablo 4's monetization, saying BG3 was a 'complete game'.

>anti-woke only became mainstream in 2024 when Sweet Baby shit the bed and the flops started to domino, starting with the big one (Suicide Squad).

Go Woke, Go Broke has never existed. The actual methodology is just that shitty games fail. Just to be clear, woke games generally are fucking shit so they do fail, but BG3 is woke and a good game, so it was successful. Hogwarts Legacy is woke as fuck, but it was a decent enough ubislop clone with pretty graphics so it was a success. TLoU2/Spider Man 2/GoY/HZD all have done fine even though they are woke.

Really, most of the games that are woke and flop also have like 50-70 reviews on metacritic because they're just bad. Does everyone forget Concord got BAD reviews? Does everyone forget Redfall got BAD reviews? Does everyone forget Dustborn got BAD reviews? These are not games astroturfed or propped up by journos. They are games declared bad by even the mainstream gaming press.
>>
>>736159965
Well, you see, your mistake is thinking it actually has anything to do with looking at a face, rather than judging the politics of the people who made the game that the character that the face belongs to appears in
>>
It's actually "make a shit game, go broke" and most instances of people making games with ideology in mind first end up being shit because they didn't set out to make a fun game.
Also goddamnit Captcha that was Cirno fuck you

People do not care if a game is "woke" or "based". They care if a game is good. There is a reason there is a graveyard filled with 10,000 korean MMOs, gachaslop, forgotten JRPGs, and other media that have tons of TnA but utterly failed to find traction cause they suck.

I love anime tits and I want more anime tits but stop pretending like Concord would be a good game you'd be playing if the cast was anime babes instead of fags. It would end up like Girls Frontline 2, where it is just DoA.

which one lets you kill more trannies?
>>
>>736157173
Holy grim

>>736152925
because BG3 doesn't revolve around niggers and jews unlike the other 2 games plus is a real rpg thus you can kill any nog or kike you come across, once again unlike KCD2.
>>
>>736152925
Most people don't give a fuck about internet "politics" and just buy what they like, and good games tend to sell well like they always did. That's the cold truth.
>>
>>736152925
Because the baldurs gate hid most of the woke in act 3 and woke wasn't an issue in act 1 at all, and act 1 easily constitutes like 30h of game if you try to do most sidequests, act 2 was iffy with a bunch of shit but act 3 was fucking dogshit.
Past 70h I was basically playing to just fucking finish the game already. And somehow I needed entire 25 extra hours to do that and by the time I reached the end I felt nothing for the cast and I was glad it was over. Never playing another Larian game.
