They made bank so hard with this, but I have to question if they'll keep to the path or go even harder on "progressive" views than they already did to the annoyance of basically everybody that made this a success.

They will.

The game was already super woke before the uproar, with a bunch of tranny freaks jumping for joy over the game because the devs did a media tour about the "trans inclusive" content, which was one of the first things the media was talking about during the early announcement phase. It was only closer towards release did it turn into "woke vs anti-woke" debate, even though it's not. It's "woke vs woke" through and through.

If the devs were adding tranny crap early on in the game and doubled down even after the woketards came after them, expect the sequel to have twice as much woke content, more anti-white content, and more Rainbow Reich nonsense. There hasn't been a case where a major studio didn't kowtow to the woke mob, or didn't go more woke for the sequel.
