Yeah uh what the hell was Mass Effect and the Witcher if not extremely political. You could be a genocidal Shepard remember, you could let the entire council die and push for a human only version. Most people who cry out “it’s woke” just have never put it together before.
Then there’s The Last of Us Pt. 2. One of the best narrative games I have ever played, and probably the best of that year (I don’t remember what else came out). Just an amazing experience with a fantastic, deep, heart-wrenching story…
Remember how that one turned out? I’m pretty sure at least one voice actor was getting literal death threats for voicing a non gender-conforming main character… Just think about how fucking stupid that is for a moment. The person reading a script into a microphone… That would be like threatening Sebastian Stan because he played Trump in that shitty movie.
This is why we can’t have nice things. I love video games, but “gamers” are just embarrassing. I don’t want to be associated with that shit.
exactly, which is why politics free games like assassins creed and call of duty sell like hotcakes…
wait, Ass cree is a series about political intrigue throughout history and call of duty is about warfare as a result of political goals.
Are you sure people play games to escape politics?

Yeah but those aren’t the same on the nose reminder of real life politics that dragon age is guilty of
The game literally stops to lecture you on how progressive of a game it is, it’s just stupid virtue signaling
LGBTQ people existing in video games is only “political” if you’re a bigot. It’s really that simple.
There are lots of games who have LGBT that literally nobody has a problem with. BG3 is good example
It’s like they don’t even think.

Yeah I think video games are primarily used as escapism
You know people play cod because they like the 6v6 arcade shooter mode, not for the story or the campaign
