If you were to pinpoint a time when would you say woke nonsense/sjw garbage creeped into gaming? I remember I used to love gaming magazines until they couldn’t shut up about diversity or women in gaming or articles saying how evil gamers were. My personal favorite are female gamers who talk about verbal abuse they get when they play online. At first I was sympathetic until I realized that verbal abuse is pretty common online.
Women can be great developers or programmers but hiring a woman for gorge sake of it is dumb. Same with men. And people get furious if you say you just want to play a game.
Main games I play now are Skyrim, Fable Deluxe, and the Sims. I’m really excited about Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield but I hope Bethesda doesn’t go crazy. Also hope next Fable game is good. Sorry for rant.
There was a bit of the diversity stuff sneaking in for a while, but it got really bad in 2014+. A bunch of literally who’s started speaking up about more then, and “the woke” has infected a bunch of companies since then. It’s part of what has gotten me interested in Game Development, so I can try to get something out there that is not completely filled with politics.
