This.
This is precisely why Embracer Group bought them out.
This is the new tactic. It's to infiltrate relatively good game projects and inculcate the demographic with subtly aggressive propaganda.
Normies will defend these media properties because they are relatively "fun" and the propaganda is no different than what the Left has been adding to every other form of Western media.
The "fun" propaganda is more insidious and effective. Baldur's Gate 3 and KCD 2 should be more concerning to us because they are good games and also function as subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) brainwashing. Propaganda is more effective when you enjoy consuming the propaganda.
Exactly.
It's why properties like Arcane are so dangerous, the amount of people defending and spreading it helps spread the Left's message, and has normies doing the work for the activists. Stuff like BG3 and KCD2 have the exact same effect.
For everyone claiming that "we're winning!", I don't see it that way at all. I see it as the Left adapting their tactics and infiltrating the masses with shifting the Overton window further Left via very successful subversion of "fun" entertainment media.
