I predict that Witcher 4 will be at least a modest success coasting on the success of the previous game despite this bullshit. Just as TLoU 2 was a modest success.
Good luck selling gamers on Witcher 5 or TLoU 3 though. That DEI money must be pretty good to be worth killing huge franchises over.
That's exactly how it works. 'Get Woke, Go Broke' doesn't kick in instantly. By now everyone knows you get one freebie when trashing a franchise and it's the sales for the entry after the big DEI-fest which really matter. Companies who are fully paid up to the message pretend not to know this, however.
It's because normies don't pay any attention to gaming news; they buy based mostly on how much they liked the previous entry in the franchise. Witcher 3 was good, so Witcher 4 will get the normie dollar. Witcher 4 is almost certainly going to be terrible, so Witcher 5 won't get the normie dollar even if its done a hard course correction.
A selection of woke snippets for your perusal from Cian Maher, walking anti-GG cliche (whose current job is using Witcher 4 as a clumsy vehicle to BTFO the chuds):
In a thread from May 2022, he wrote, “Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever. If you claim you can't get a job because you're straight and white, I'm sorry -- you can't get a job because you're s***e.
Concerning Rings of Power, he wrote in 2023, “Tolkien fans obsessed with ‘accuracy’ are so f***ing weird. ‘Nobody cares about this adaptation’ — why do you care about any adaptation then? The only reason you're upset about Rings of Power is because ‘critiquing’ it allows you to pretend your vitriol and bigotry have value.”
To no surprise, he’s projecting as in his next post he claims that Sam has brown skin, “What's also funny is that most of the loudest Tolkien ‘fans’ online constantly tell on themselves You've read the books, yeah? Cool, so you know Sam has dark skin. How accurate was it to cast Sean Astin then? What's that? Speak up please, I can't hear you — where are you going?”
In September 2023, he wrote, “If you are an adult who loses their mind at the concept of pronouns, which everyone, everywhere, throughout all of history has used every single day, there is something wrong with your life but it's not what you think it is. The Wokes aren't out to get you. You're just a clown.”
Maher wrote, “I wonder if they realize that by harassing trans writers who have rightfully and justifiably critiqued Cyberpunk 2077’s haphazard and sometimes harmful representation of trans people, that they themselves are the exact kind of people that cyberpunk is designed to destroy: fascistic, unempathetic, and depraved proponents of a regime designed to foster irreversible and indiscriminate misery in technophilic dystopia.”
Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever.
And 99,9% of the time they still are much better than the diversity hire. And it's not even close.
Cool, so you know Sam has dark skin.
Haven't read the books, but $10 says he has a suntan from being a gardener. 'cuz retards like this love to claim tanned characters are really ackshually Subsaharan African.
justifiably critiqued Cyberpunk
Ah, so if you're a tranny calling out a shit game is suddenly a-okay. I see how it is.

Good, the series ended after 3 anyways, but this is even more of a reason to be non-buynary.
