GG SHOULD of went on the offensive and fought back but every call to action from emails to boycotts was met with "don't do that, that's what the SJWs do!".
Richard C. Meyer, the "ya boi Zack" guy, eschews boycotts for what he calls "buycotts," basically saying "buy these books, they're legitimately good."
He also makes comics, which doesn't hurt.
Right now, I think that's the best strategy. Don't try to make "anti-sjw" games, just make good games. Look at how the indy market is blowing up. You've got a lot of crap, sure, but you've got a lot of legitimately amazing games, even if they're not the most polished. (you've also got some stuff I don't know how to categorize, like FNAF, but that's beside the point, lmao)
Look how fast the woke crap flounders and dies, while the stuff that just tries to be good thrives, even at the corporate studios. (Doom 2016 being a solid example).
Have an alternative to the woke crap in every medium, and you'll start to see a shift. Push a little harder and people start to listen. Corporations don't give a flying fuck about "muh diversity," they just want to make bank, so you have to show them that they're bottom line will hurt if they keep supporting this garbage.
I'm not saying trust these companies, just understand how they work and where their loyalties lie. Like any good mercenary, they'll go where the gold flows like water.

It's not too late, honestly.
