This has been a problem for decades. The EU and other various specific countries give huge grants and benefits to art projects that basically make them profitable to both make and fail. Uwe Boll's entire career was built on exploiting them, and its the reason why filming in Europe is so common for cheaper movies.
New game dev strategy: grift some of this money by promising to make pozz but instead make an actually good game with a bit of pozz window-dressing that you make it easy to mod out.
I would do that but patch all the shit out myself upon steam release while filling the game with extreme anti-woke themes and imagery, with the objective being to con woke assholes out of their hard earned money.
Mark it GJM and only mention it in a random forum with a fake account. I doubt the journalists will even understand what happened. Especially if you claim evil white males made a mod and you are trying to stop it. Since it means actually playing the game, the journalists will think they won by your statement.
Aye, Canada has - or used to have - film-maker tax credits that amounted to the same thing. So it was more profitable to make a movie that failed, rather than try to compete in the theatres against Hollywood films. So that's why Canadian movies/media of the second half of the 20th century really, really sucks outside of maybe the NFB's short animations.

It's no coincidence that the instant they closed that loophole, Uwe Boll stopped making awful video game movies.
Probably didn't help that his name had become infamous enough that even companies tossing out worthless licensing avoided him.
And that Paul W. S. Anderson took over his job at shitting on fans of everything he touches.

The fact that this hasn't happened at least once by this point tells me they have at least some defenses in place around such an idea.

They probably demand to oversee/hire someone to oversee the project
Why does that sound familiar?

Sounds like money well spent to me, haha
Edit: Although it is clear were the true money is invested in...
Hilarious project reference code.

When people won't buy your game because it's fucking woke garbage, force them to buy it at gunpoint by stealing their tax money to fund its creation.
had this game marked as ignored since launch
And the community has. I'm sure someone will play it for shits and giggles just to how how much an outright parody it is.
