Remember kids: Concord failed, because it woke. Not because it came late to the party to imitate the very successful non-woke and incredibly un-diverse game... *checks notes* Overwatch.

Um, ackchually, Overwatch is a gooner game, it has a lot of porn made after its characters!
A LOT of porn.
Cool
And remember! The high price tag attached to Concord had no influence on it's success! People will gladly pay for stuff that is offered for free elsewhere!
Tbh, it's mostly because it cost $40 in a space where most of the games were free to play, and also had micro transactions along with that $40 price tag. The "last to the party" part just compounds it.
Edit Addendum: Also, I think Sony was banking too hard on Firewalk studios since it was comprised by ex veteran game devs from Bungie, Respawn Entertainment, Activision, BioWare, Raven Software and a lot of other studios.
No, it's because it got woke and then broke! ;_; /j
And remember that Elden Ring is not woke because trans allegory goes over their heads
The fascist movement that keeps referencing the Matrix as an allegory for their fascist uprising doesn't get trans allegories? I'm shocked!
Til Elden Ring is trans.
Could you please explain this joke? I've seen it before but I don't realy get it.
IMO it's making fun of how there's no solid definition of "woke" at least from the right wing perspective. Ask a 100 tories what woke means and you'll get 100 different answers. It means whatever they want it to mean.
There’s no hidden message or anything. The simplicity that causes it to make no sense is meant to communicate how dumb and basic all the anti-woke conservative BS is.
Which aspect? There is no specific hidden pun regarding the engine being woke. It's just saying that the guy is angry with it because it's broken.
This graph doesn't make sense. How can you even more reach the bottom part?
EDIT: This is what I mean
I see your edit so I wanted to come back and explain again that woke isn't an endpoint, it's an end-loop. In the graph all things considered WOKE will continuously be checked again until it reaches Not Woke (if ever).
once something is determined woke by the grift, it can only be the focus as long as it is the right level of popular for anyone to listen to the scam. something to beloved or obscure won't achieve the desired outrage
Your media either gets labeled as "gooner" or "not woke".
Or gets stuck in a loop
I actually found that part clever. Things do actually get declared "woke" and then become popular enough that the grifters declare it unwoke.
Have Minorities, Don't Sexualize them, and then you automatically move into the recurring loop.
This is false, they will continue to argue content with minorities is "woke" and "is gonna go broke" even if it is widely successful and makes makes millions.
They aren't well known for being logical or competent, many are extremely high on cope and they believe that because they wish the producer of such content will go broke that they actually will.
As an illustration to what you're saying, I recently saw a quote of someone asking if the failure of Baldur's Gate 3 will convince other companies to quit making woke games. The FAILURE. Of. Baldur's. Gate. 3.
I've also seen people collectively losing their shit in the Terraria Steam forums for the past few weeks because 1.4.5 will remove the ♂ and ♀ symbols from the character creator. Many of the people who are angry are claiming that Terraria "went woke" and it's "gonna go broke". It's only fairly recently started to die down, but I imagine it'll pick back up again when the update drops.
Yeah these people really are inecredibly delusional if they think games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Terraria are going broke.
I was messing with my nephew, telling him that I only play woke games, and that his favorite game, Rimworld is woke af because the communities are communists.
Please stop, you're going too wild!
Needs more Saddam Hussein, plz

Babe, new Loss just dropped
To be clear, Minorities can include demographics other than racial Minorities, such as gay women or others.
I am not disagreeing with the meme, merely expanding on the nuance of it.
Yeah it doesn't matter how popular something is chanting "Go woke go broke" makes you look like an idiot
Anyone using “woke” in their criticism can be disregarded. They don’t have any valuable insights of why the media they criticize is bad.
help am go in circles pls help
~~It means 10% of most wealthy minority, right? Right?~~
It’s woke not because of what’s in it, but why. It’s performative politics. Token ensemble casts. Empty signaling. It’s not meant to make the world a better place, it’s meant to make money. It’s like cheap pride merch at Walmart.
Only Republicans talked about virtual signalling and empty signalling because they can't fathom someone actually caring about others.
It’s not meant to make the world a better place
That's not something humans seem to want to work together to do.
