I honestly derive too much pleasure listening to youtubers dunk on woke games.
Most of the time, they're just milking me for views, and the games they dunk on aren't even that bad, or that woke... but for some reason I get mindless entertainment listening to it...

I think making things woke is just good advertising these days. Rage clicks are real.

That being said, I do think games are getting more woke while simultaneously getting suckier. I don't really think the two are directly related though. IMO it's a third factor driving both: AAA game development is becoming more corporate (and a general trend towards toxic positivity in the corporate sector)

That and butt fucking your customers with micropayments. I don't play a lot of AAA anymore. The golden age of gaming is over for sure.

Golden age of big game companies is over, but the indie scene is rocking.

Yup, that's part of the reason I watch that YouTube channel. Indie games are amazing.
