Is woke in vidya actually dying out?
I know this asked constantly, but it does seem even the mainstream opinion has started to sway away from them, maybe not perhaps for that exact reason. Many 'woke' games also tend to suffer from simplified if not downgraded gameplay, but were prior shielded from criticism on the political front.
Seems more consistently lately that large-scale 'woke' games are flopping and are openly condemned, and even the media outlets are doing less damage control for them. Recent obvious examples being Wolverine, the Halo 1 remake, and now the new Gears of War is the current laughing stock. The fallout of the nuclear failure of Concord has seemed to finally reach the executive level and the suits are seeming to be more cagey about the political messaging. I think even the new Fable's female character got a less 'woke' redesign, made more traditionally attractive.
The companies behind such games are also facing more rapid layoffs, if not total closures. The financial impact is both undeniable and severe.

Woke 2 will be way worse but the keep posting based things online it's definitely stopping it

From where I'm sitting every new game still looks like gay garbage and still takes 5+ years to get shat out.

I think it's mostly just games that are dying. The big AAA titles are probably going to continue to decline.

Fair consideration, probably true as well.
The industry is certainly going through some form of size-crisis overall, mainly from rapid over-expansion and over-investment. I would say Nintendo, and maybe the japanese as an overall tend to be more patient with growth, and its worked for them better (but they’re also not scott-free), whereas western companies (which now include sony) have been far more aggressive, and the whiplash from exponential investment not granting exponential returns has come home to haunt them. This is also seen on the inverse, whereas the indie scene is doing far more stable.

I didn’t say dead, I said dying. Its a process that is only now starting to move in the other direction.

So it seems thats the nature of modern politics.

Woke 2.0 is turning out to be more about class war, so that's a huge improvement from 1.0. It's also pissing off the niggers because they're not the center of attention anymore

Video games and the media in general should not be used as a vehicle for political or social propaganda.
Video games that include LGBT content shows that the development was not done for passion but for but for propaganda purpose, thats why it's a big red flag for a shit game.

>>748969187
Lmao of course is not, this shit is just starting and it's going to get MUCH worse
>>
>>748969739
(((They))) are not going to let that happen, Woke 1.0 was created specifically to distract goyim from the class war and promote leftists that will only talk about gender and race shit instead of economics

>Is woke in vidya actually dying out?
no they still get jew funding one way or another. Propaganda outlets like IGN and Kotaku will always be supported by jew money and surrounding allies and never close shop.
woke devs are doubling down, just last 30 days you had badly reviewed games like
>Halo
>Wolverine (starring Debra Wilson)
>Silent Hill: Townfall
>Ace Combat 8 (starring Debra Wilson)
>Gears of War E day (releasng in 3 days and will flop like Halo)

no such thing as woke 1/2 as woke 2 won't denounce and apologize for anything woke 1 does.

While things continue flopping, it makes no difference. Teams are gutted, companies shut down, but the same devs just get shuffled around or start up their own teams and continue putting out slop. Unless people actually step up to replace them, and actually succeed at it, you will continue getting shit on.
