To be fair, the public was unreasonably hostile - people were calling it Concord 2 from the moment they saw it. Their mashup of attack/defend FPS and battle royale might not have worked out, but they didn't have a roster half-full of ugly weirdos like Concord.
Not even about punishment, but about discernment; woke means effort is going in to appeasing "modern audiences" that should be spent on making the game fun.
Woke games all suck, not necessarily because they're woke but because they focus on what they think a good game should be instead of what a good game actually is. They want broccoli-headed numales to be popular, but they aren't and never will be. So they waste time trying to change people's minds (like Communists).
Frankly, the same thing happens to "based" media, which is why all the Daily Wire stuff is DOA. Nobody but your own people want to watch your propaganda; make it entertaining or don't make it.
They chose to make Broccoli-hair their focal viewpoint character. First shown, first highlighted.
If Overwatch was announced with that little "the world needs more heroes!" trailer, but instead of Tracer, it was Roadhog, it would give a very different feel, perhaps to the point of damaging the brand before its release. Marketing 101: Give the people what they want, and then convince them that what you have fulfills that want.
If the game's trailer had a hot spandex-clad woman as the first image, the main thing burned into the minds of the viewers... It would not have fixed the fact the game wasn't fun in its release form, but it would have evaded a good chunk of the bad reception. They advertised the wrong character.
Thought exercise at home: You're trying to sell a set of knives. What should your primary image and presenting focus be on? A) A knife. B) A spoon. C) A kangaroo.
Kinda funny btw. They had a blonde male (unheard of these days) that is a Ken (street fighter) or Terry (snk) look a like. If they used that, it wouldve had a more positive vibe with asians and whites.
Our people are being exterminated from the face of the earth and our culture is being erased. Unless something actively fights against this, I will do everything in my power to destroy it simply for existing.

"The Market" (Gamers) have decided that they will boycott anything that even vaguely smells of woke.
If we punish enough publishers, eventually the industry will get the message. If not? Well, we can always go back to playing good Indy games.
Star Sector still is the best value I've ever spent on a game. It is awesome.
hey hey people
Starsector is the best twenty bucks I've ever spent.

Highguard chose B, Concord chose C.
It wasn’t concord or dust born tier ultra woke, but the main character was a racial ambiguous broccoli sidecut nu-male.
Just because it wasn’t a hamplanet zim/zer doesn’t mean people didn’t smell the woke. It wasn’t unreasonable
Haven't seen this one in ages thank you

Out in the sun, during summer, Mediterranean at best. Maybe. Which is why I say ambiguous.
Apparently not popular enough to get people to play and stay.

It didn't help that Dorito Pope shilled the game last-minute at the Game Awards.
