I don't think its that most are Left.
I think its most of the ones you hear about are Left. Because they wouldn't gain any traction or popularity without some support of the industry and the industry only accepts other Leftists. Including paying for shills to meme a game into existence (like Dave the Diver currently is doing).
But games like Domina existed for years completely under the radar until he was in the process of getting cancelled.
I don't know. But everywhere I go its got oddly neutral to positive threads cropping up a half dozen at a time. They never say anything really of substance, always post the same marketing images with the title and guy on it, and just feel very fake.
This doesn't mean the game is bad on its own, as plenty good games have terrible marketers and shills. But its notable enough to be almost clearly "bought and paid for" discussions hyping it up instead of organic word of mouth.
Regardless of its woke content or lack thereof, I don't want to make the industry think bots and shill spamming work. So I'll wait until a long period from now to take a look at it.
