That is also true. These people are ironically often the less inclusive group. They love inclusivity, but only for people who agree with them.

the deep irony of not wanting games with "an agenda" and then hyping up a Warhammer game is not lost on me lol

@silencer1286 The warhammer fans aren't trying to change the real world with made-up genders and pushing everyone else to accept their pronunces even into politics. Having men dressed as women to have access to women's bathrooms, or in women's prisons, or push for gender changes in children etc etc. And what is shallow is when genders, skin color, and pronunces are more important than actual talent. That's why games like this fail being made by a bunch of liberal woman that's been hired because a woke quota had to be met.

@@davonsden It’s shallow because it’s incredibly reductive. It boils down to a series of checkboxes. Is this person POC? check. Is this person queer? check. Is this person fat? check. Then it must be woke and woke = bad. It’s not actually engaging with the art. It also doesn’t seem to have any basis in reality. If something being woke or not determined its success I don’t think something like Baldur’s Gate 3 would have had the kind of impact that it had last year. The reality is Concord looked generic and the elevator pitch of “hey pay $40 to play something boring and uninspired” is not particularly appealing, doesn’t have to do with it being woke. Overwatch was woke and in the same genre, very successful. Warhammer does have real world implications I think the only difference is that it’s political messaging is something you, hopefully, agree with. You don’t have an issue with politics or an “agenda” if it conforms to your world view. I also just disagree with this framing of things being “pushed” because it seems like it just existing is apparently “pushing” you also seem to have just bought right into a bunch of right wing narratives around the topic, which isn’t particularly surprising. Do you not have real problems? Or is life so boring you have to buy into fear mongering about queer people to spice things up?

@silencer1286 overwatch was far from woke when it came out. Baldurs Gate 3 manage do handle it with grace. Concord was just pure woke garbage that tried to hard. Go woke go broke. Please do tell how warhammers agenda has and its group of followers is trying to change the world through politics. What a load of bullocks to even compare wokeism to warhammer. Your last question just shows you really don't have any arguments, really. The usual old stupid questions with no substance at all. Try again.

@@davonsden Overwatch was very much woke? It had POC, queer characters, characters of different body types. Very diverse. It was definitely woke. You can’t praise baldur’s gate and then in the next sentence say “go woke go broke” those are completely contradictory statements. Cause baldurs gate is woke and yet is by no metric unsuccessful. This is the case in pretty much all media as well Sure I mean Warhammer is satirical of theocracy and fascism. Which given the current political climate especially in the US of trying to bridge the gap between church and state is quite relevant. My last question was a joke, you can’t say I don’t have arguments when I’m literally making them. You also I guess gave up on arguing about the shallowness of this kind of analysis, that’s definitely a much more interesting part of this convo.

Okey, not what I've noticed in several different parts of communities, groups and forums. Especially in groups were words like woke is censored. Ive only seen the woke minority group screeching as soon as anyone mentioned this is woke garbage. Always blaming it on everything else, but never it being woke. But either way, games like this is going down one after the other due to mostly this reason.

@@davonsden Do you think you maybe frequent communities who put a lot of emphasys on words like woke, and the culture war from a certain political side, and that has shaped a skewed image in your mind about how relevant or important those issues are? Cause, depending on how far right you are you could definitely call me woke for just being pro minority rights and representation and LGBT+ . I am in social groups with people that I know are woke and maybe even woker than I am, and we never talk about this kind of stuff, or take it so seriously. I worry about all sorts of personal and social issues, but games being woke? I would like some characters that represent me, but in the end of the day I and people do not worry about games being woke enough, nor does anyone I ever met. Except people usually socially right, usually to criticize it. Btw just to make it clear you are not a noe-nazi right? I know it would be a funny thing to ask for me too, except the last guy who I talked to about "forced diversity", you know, the old word for "woke" linked me a propaganda video about how the SS were not racist, and the USSR was the true nazis. So I'm just being cautions and asking :P

@ezekielthedragon7558 no definitely not a neo nazi lol I would categorize myself more towards the middle leaning toward right. I think it's important to be able to respect and have an open friendly debate or dialog even if both parties are in each side of the political spectrum. That's how I've lived my life among friends who are left while I've more and more leaned to right wing. I've had friends that are gay since over two decades ago, so my view isn't skewed. But I can understand if you painted your own image from this video and this small conversation. How ever, the left isn't what it once where. Many of my friends who once voted left dosent recognize what the left become and are also sick of all the wokeness. The left has turned into something extreme rather than a peaceful loving tolerant group. Which often is something that is recognized when this debate is on the agenda. As I mentioned in other threads, I belive in including minoritet without forcing it down anyone's throat like Concord tried. Other games managed this with grace like BG3, and one of my favorite characters Astarion. I believe he held most of that game on his shoulders. For me it is important to mark against games that try and push a political or social agenda rather than entertaining. When a game have gotten influenced by Sweet Baby Inc, it is very noticeable. You mentioned you didn't notice Concord being woke, while it do takes a more objective point of view to see the broader picture. Maybe since being woke is the norm for you, then you don't recognize the same way I do who grew up during the 80s where none of that was even an idea. But I want to tell you about the interview with the CEO of Blackrock who said that they will make sure that there will be a behavior change in the western society. The interview is on youtube if you want to look it up. So the woke agenda is ongoing, and me personally don't want anything to do with it because the people who support it mainly just demand respect but often never want to give any. They demand the rest of the world to use their pronunces, or else. It's not news that this has been a common problem and when a game tries to push the same agenda, people will react. The games that is being turned woke because of Sweet baby inc using extortion are games that I belive should get shut down. That's why I'm happy the developers of Black Myth Wukong didn't give in to their threats. So this turned into a long wall of text ^^ But I appreciate your input and I enjoy sharing toughts and ideas even tough we might also have to agree to disagree in some areas ofc. But to summerise, I'm as a person is the one who would step in and act if I see a weaker person or a minority being mistreated. And I'm open to have games that do include. But it should never include just because of a certain skin color, gender or sexual preference. That's worse than being excluded and always should be. Include because the character is a lovable and great personality just like Astarion without pushing a political agenda.

@@davonsden You know, I used to think that big companies pushing for, I guess you would call it the woke agenda, was just a cheap move to make themselves look progressive, and thus earn more money too. But my mom actually opened my eyes on that. You see my mom is actually a kind of a veteran in the corporate world, at least for our little country I grew up in in Europe. She is also involved in some humaterian organizations such as amnesty international. She told me it actually doesn't work like that and companies are actually incredibly diverse in their opinions. So, when you see a company doing a pride month event or post a celebration tweet or other internet posts, it's actually a group of workers inside the company that fight to make the company make these changes. In short it's not a huge unfeeling conglomerate just being a chameleon and changing with public opinion. It's actually individual workers and managers in the company that fight for what they see as a better future. These experiences came to her by talking to an executive at Volkswagen. I would also add that you should not treat the woke, as a faceless conglomerate or a hivemind, was a popular term in the past. These are real people, with real stories, and they have reasons for believing what they believe. and I know it's really hard, but maybe you should look into the reasons why they actually believe in what they do, instead of getting it filtered through your groups lens. take a dive into the rabbit hole, or take the red pill as they say.

@ezekielthedragon7558 So you're saying Blackrock isn't pushing for a behavior change because your mom, an activist, told you so? Well, that seems fair... That companies don't go where the money is? Okey.. Of course, there might be a small group in a company that will always try and fight for something.Do you think the company really wants that? Most likely, the company wished these people could just shut up and just work like any other normal person. We already have unions in the West, making sure we have rights. So, what are these small minority groups even "fighting for" that your mom is mentioning? The right to be what? The right for what? Something we don't already have in the west? And yes, most of the left nowadays are either delusional and naive, none accepting or none inclusive, or just plain extreme and evil. I guess you're in the naive category. I've had many years on this earth to witness this change, and I've been into politics for over two decades now, so I would say I know what I'm talking about. You seem young, and I don't believe you were even around back in the 80s and 90s, so with all due respect, you're the one who should try and jump down the rabbit hole. I've had plenty of time to figure out the broader picture. Also, saying companies don't use the opportunity for economic gains would also be very naive. Just for example, since the Bud Light incident in 2023, which cost them more than a billion dollars, a trend have been seen throughout companies that they're starting to scale down this pro pride during Pride Month. Companies will always choose money over pride, and they would do better if they didn't have to listen to a small group that rant about pride one month each year. Stock holders dont care about this unless it makes them money. We're living in 2025 soon, we know people in lgbtq community exist. They have more rights nowadays than most people in the world. But they will never be happy, it will never be enough, there will always be some minor thing to complain about. It will come a time when you will make your own observations Hopefully, by then, you won't act like you know it all and claim others like me are seeing things through a group lens when you're saying you see the world through a mom lens. Thank you for the conversation, and I wish you a nice day!

Yeah forced wokeness can f*ck off. The other games you mentioned did it with grace. Astarion is one of my favorite characters I years. Glad to see you're proving my point tought as soon as someone isn't sharing your pow, you tell them to go of the internet. Calling me Lil bro is also amusing 😅😂

Massive price tag?😂 Dude, it's 40 dollars lmao Yeah it's easy to blame the price but never the less that isn't the reason people more or less hate the game...

Thank you for the support!. One game that manage to keep it well balanced was Baldurs Gate 3 with one of my favorite characters in games, Astarion. Such a well written character and awesome actor playing Astarion.

@Adinfinitum7478 They're made up just like all the made up genders.

Guess you never watched the whole video since I talked about the argument you are pointing at. It doesn't hold up since Valve proved the market isnt at all over saturated. And if you gonna say "we'll the game cost 40usd".. And? Where was the modern audience that were suppose to support this game and wanna play it? Next time, watch before you assume and reply. It's obvious most are sick of the woke agenda being pushed into what is suppose to be entertainment. That's why the Acolyte also got canceled. If you don't like it, that's fine. You're entitled to your own opinion. But telling someone who doesn't share your point of view to get of the internet also prove my point how there isnt any tolerance in the small minority that says they're suppose to be so tolerant. Go figure...

@@davonsden It's absolutely the 40 dollar price tag in a sea of free shooters.

@lasagnahog7695 While it ofcourse adds to it because everything isnt black and white, still the majority of the gamers out there don't agree it's a money issue first and foremost, but that the agenda is being pushed once again is one of the bigger problems with such games. Just recently, I saw a post about the game where there was a bragging article about Concord being the first game with a trans person in it. Out of the 5000 reactions, 4987 was laughing emoji. Money isn't an issue if the game is good and stays away from pushing an agenda up into the consumers' faces. Baldurs Gate 3 could do it nicely and still be inclusive with fantastic characters. So it has nothing to do with the market being over saturated. It's just a poor excuse to try and cover up the fact that the game failed because baby inc were involved in making this woke garbage of a game that the majority of gamers want nothing to do with. Or do you seriously still believe that woke games like this even in none over saturated categories have a future in gaming after this flop that is of biblical proportions? Do you really think people want to play games where it's important to show which pronunce a character has and flexing that a trans person is in it? Think again.

Go woke go broke

@michaelservin8056 Damn right. Hopefully, they've learned this time.

That is true and thank you for the support. Good thing we have eastern developers who can't be bothered with threats, accusations and extortion from these activists.

Thank you very much! Sorry for the late replay. UA-cam isn't good on notifications 😕

Thank you very much! Let me know if you want the blueprint. Sorry for the late reply. UA-cam isn't good on notifications 😕

Thank you very much! =) Im soon lvl 50 now!

@@davonsden nice! Is there a level cap?

@@toryallan7967 yes cap is at 50

Well said! I believe a society will thrive when it is allowed to collectively welcome what benefits it from different cultures. Not by being pushed by a certain group or government to accept certain values even when it's obvious people don't want what's being offered. People will only be pushed further and further towards the edge.

@@davonsden I also think we're stronger when we share cultures. Food and Music are almost universal between cultures and it's the best place to link onto each other with. We shouldn't segregate, I find it unsettling that people in the US fought for whites and blacks to be equal because it wasn't okay for the govt to do that but now because they want it it's okay to split up again? I mean yes there are gonna be somethings that don't translate between cultures nor will everyone take the idea well but I honestly think that sharing is our unity.

@@songie3910 Yes I agree. I see music as a universal language. It can be something that can create so many kind of emotions and speak through barriers. And food, well that is pure love. Me being from Sweden love our food culture here, and how we have been so open for other food cultures through ages. The Swedish meatballs being inspired from Turkey for example. And our Swedish Kebab pizza saves so many from a horrendous hangover!

Glad to help!

It sure is! Ive been extremely happy with it.

I hope so! And a bigger brain!

Thank you! Maybe could give it a try.

Exactly! Thats the word "ocd-looter" lmao I hate that feeling. But it was way worse several years ago. Now Ive been more focused on just completing main quests, specially if I know there is a NG+ so I can roam around later and do what ever. And yes, Conan Exiles was awesome! Loved to build and explore in that universe. Had one of my most fond pvp moments as well in that game.

I can see what you mean. A good balance is necessary for the broader gaming community, and having fun things to discovery is essential to keep the gameplay intriguing. With Farcry, it got so repetitive for me with the boring point of interests. Witcher 3 did however manage to have very fun side quests which was something I remember fondly. Just wish back then I could've turned of all the question marks. I played the game again when the next gen edition came out almost without any HUD and it was so much better. All RPG games should have such options at launch. But as the devs at CD Project Red said, its a learning curve =) And thank you for watching and the nice feedback!

It's funny you mentioned Elden Ring because that's the game I felt the most fun playing in decades due to the solitary feeling of being alone in a world where you have to figure stuff out for yourself. It was full of mysteries, no hand holding mechanics, and a clutter free HUD. I got nostalgic feelings from when I was a kid playing 8bit legend of Zelda with my older brother were we had to just figure everything out for ourself. I havent played the dlc yet but looking forward to it. Thanks for the comment!

Goodmorning and thanks for the comment! Well it could be satire for some but for many its a common problem that takes away the joy of exploration. Imo when a game hold my hand to much, I get bored so fast as well as stressed cause I feel the need to go to everything. Thats why Elden Ring was one of the best games Ive played during the last two decades because that game just released me in the world and said, "figure shit out yourself".

@@davonsden i like exploration but some hand holding is ok too or i just feel overwhelmed by options and feel like i'm missing important stuff, which stresses me out. I've been hovering over the buy button DD2 for a long time but the 130 price tag is putting me off. apparently there are mods which let you fast travel as much as you want which i know would make me enjoy the game more. thoughts?
