Yes, it has a strong female girl boss, an over representation of POCs, and most of the white men are inept, stupid, and subordinate. But we won't call it woke, because we call everything woke.

It is nothing to do with the hardware. It is everything to do with the audience.
Before the console, PCs were an expensive tool used by professionals. Computer games propagated through white collar professionals and their nerd-spawn. There was an entire body of work on PCs only that were only available to hard-core hobbyists.
Text Based Adventure games, then Graphical Adventure Games, Flight Simulators and Space Fighter Simulators, Real Time Strategy Games.
Then consoles arrived. The console is a toy. It has a few buttons. Interactions are limited to a controller. You can't possibly program your own games. Console gamers can only sit down and consume the pre-packaged content.
X-Box players think that Halo was the first ever FPS. They run and gun through every game, skipping the dialog. They can't even type.
Entire genres of games disappear because for decades games are made for consoles and then ported to PCs.
Because console 'tards have no experience playing games, the have simple tastes. They don't get complex stories or game mechanics. They don't understand or care for rich game-play experiences.
For example the last three months of Bioshock development was spent ripping out story and simplifying gameplay so Console 'Tards would like it.
At the time of Fallout 3 the entire fucking world was declaring that stupid, insipid game to be one of the greatest games of all time. It made thousands of top ten lists. All of the 'tarded fan-boys were ranting about how stupid isometric turn based combat was, and how FPS was the way of the future.
I bet you never played a single session of any TTRPG before you played Fallout 3!
Decades later consoles are drying up. The 'Tard Tax for consoles isn't worth the exclusives you get.
The Console 'Tards are finally starting to get educated as to what a great story or good gameplay can bring to the artform.
Now you are whining and complaining about how these idiot children know nothing other than Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnight. About how Zoomers are vomiting stupid all over your beloved Mass Effect and GTA.
Enjoy. You fucking earned it.
