The gaming industry went woke for the same reason every other industry that went woke did, the professional class that work within it went woke. Why did the professional class go woke? They went woke because they were taught to be woke in university.
Every industry today that is woke went woke because woke professional class people work there. News media (journalism degrees,) visual and written entertainment media, all trace their path to woke directly through university education.
You won't get rid of woke until you get rid of woke in academia, and to do that requires scorched earth tactics no one up to now has been willing to entertain, let alone act on.
Problem with the stoking the flames like that is they choose to kick the wrong nest. Instead of pissing off the people that would never buy their games (such as feminists and their ilk), they piss off their direct customer base.
"Bad press" from the terminally woke is just good advertising at this point. Bad press from the real gaming crowd though is just bad press.
Yes, and you can ALSO point the finger at: Government & Banking.
It was the legal doctrines of the "civil rights" (aka anti-White, anti-male, anti-Free Association) that facilitated Unis becoming hate factories.
And all of that was facilitated by Leftist ownership of Gov & Banking that allowed them to pay for it while keeping themselves looking rosy. It's for "education." Who doesn't want more "education"? So earmark or donate money and funnel it all into your buddy's activist groups in "education" until you own the whole thing.
