Imagine how much more epic video games would be if woke women and transgenders never took over the industry.
Games like Pathfinder: Wrath of The Rightous have an Un Woke mod on Based Mods to massively improve them.
May all games be moded to unshittify them.
https://basedmods.eth.limo/ ( Use Browse and then search by name, direct link to the mod's page dosen't work ).
And in the case of WotR, the wokeness is fairly minimal overall. And the most glaring of those issues seem to be addressed by that mod (from what I've been able to tell anyway).
It's pretty in your face because you get a big unskippable arc about saving some lesbian orc sacrificed everything to get a tranny spell or some retarded bullshit.
Yeah, that part definitely was.
Although I'll admit, I didn't even realize it was a tranny for a while because I was skipping through that specific dialogue, was very much a "tldr" moment, and the portrait was so small on my screen that I didn't even guess it was anything more than a lesbian thing.
Apparently the Wokeless mod author didn't realize it either when he first made it (he also did start the mod before finishing the prologue, so that could've been a factor).
And on further digging, turns out the writer for the original tabletop campaign/adventure the PC game is based on is a tranny. Beyond the 3-4 glaring examples of cringe diverse characters, nothing in the story seems to reflect that, so I half wonder if Owlcat cleaned up a lot of the mess from the original campaign. I'm curious enough to grab a free copy of the campaign to compare.
The problem is that by buying the woke game you're supporting this bullshit.
Oh definetly do not buy from devs who hate and want to replace White people.
Torrent and patch / mod the game.
But would we still see other predatory game mechanics?
Battle passes, microtransactions, lootboxes, mandatory Internet connections, and broken, bare bones Day 1 releases. Those seemed to go into hyperdrive after GamerGate too.
Or do you think these were just natural side effects of publishers and shareholders getting more greedy as the industry took off? Were we going to see those things anyway, with or without wokeness?
I think that battle passes and micro transactions and the like are just how big issues like SaaS/subscription model addiction express themselves in gaming. It’s not unique to gaming by any means, and while some of it is directly connected to the whole WEF/Agenda 2030/Wokeness/You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy conglomerate, some of it is just natural consequence of the technology and globalization that we happen to live with in our times. And maybe some clever regulations or the sort of general societal moral realignments and stripping of power from the woke that we all hope for can help with that stuff, but it also might be one of those genies that just never fully goes back in the bottle.
