Fags love to use baldurs gate as an example... they also love to group veilguard and bdurs gate as well.
That's true - though some lefties willing to criticize Veilguard have claimed that Baldur's Gate 3 is the real Dragon age 4. Baldurs gate 3 probably has it in there, but it at least has the gameplay done well enough to draw in newcomers and hardcore gamers alike, and I would say it's probably subtle enough in terms of wokeness that it didn't choke the game out like veilguard did. And to further that, it did just about all the things that people felt Veilguard was too scared to do - inter-character conflicts within the player party (I only played for a little bit and there was some good tension between the Githyanki girl and the Half-elf Cleric), dark, dramatic fantasy that didn't feel like a pixar movie, character designs in line with previous installments, that sort of stuff.
Indeed, I think that a lot of would-be devs on this forum could probably also make their messages go further by being subtle too. I had an idea for writing a fantasy setting where magic operates on the idea of solidly defined male and female and attempts to defy that always go south.
On top of this, I think that a lot of companies are becoming aware that gamers are starting to reject nonsense like this, which has become more prominent over the Biden years. If gamers weren't, I don't think they would be trying to not let gamers know that consultancy firms exist, as the name Sweet Baby has become toxic to a lot of them. Whether or not the vocality against DEI will calm now that Trump's coming back to the white house remains to be seen (among other events), though if there's enough of a push, then it might end up causing them to fade for what could be a long time.
I do think it would make sense that it would still be toned down compared to the earlier games. I think that 3 might be the utter maximum that some devs for big studios might allow.
