Obviously, nobody looked at a game and thought “oh, well, that’s too woke, so I’m not going to buy it”. They didn’t buy it because it was a shit game with shitty microtransactions.

Except these people are out there, and we've known this since GamerGate happened over a decade ago. One of the top Steam curators is called "Sweet Baby Inc detected", and exists to identify games that are "too woke":

Clearly there are at least 468k losers out there that avoid specific games because "that’s too woke, so I’m not going to buy it".
