I know based or neutral indie devs exist, but in my experience most indie devs are anywhere from left-of-center to ultra-woke. I’ve seen some people saying indie games are the escape from woke triple A shit, and while they may be the escape from the “shit” part, I think that claim is at least 50% cope.
Edit: in fact, for anything that’s sort of cyberpunk or predicts a future corporate hellscape, I automatically assume that the dev is very far left. Somehow, the left has convinced a LOT of people that they’re the anti-corporate, anti-government corporate fusion, anti-overreach party when they’re the ones barreling toward it the fastest.
It depends on the dev. But if they are involved in the igda chances are they are woke. ShortFatOtaku has some good videos covering the igda and indie scene corruption. He definitely has bad takes of his own in his other vids but those videos are solid.
