Do Woke Sony games sell well?

[JOKER]

Steam Peak numbers according to SteamDB.

Ghost of Tsushima - 77k Steam Peak
God of War - 73k Steam Peak.
Spiderman Remastered - 66k Steam Peak
Horizon Zero down - 56k Steam Peak
Forbidden West - 40k Steam Peak
Last of us Pt 1 - 36k Steam Peak
GoW Ragnarok - 35k Steam Peak
Spiderman 2 - 23k Steam Peak
Spiderman Miles Morales - 13k Steam Peak

Ranking Most to Least "Woke" according to ChatGPT:

1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Woke) → Afro-Latino protagonist, strong emphasis on diversity and community.

2. Spider-Man 2 (Woke) → Continues Miles’ story, more diverse secondary characters.

3. Horizon Zero Dawn (Woke) → Strong female lead, environmental and corporate critique.

4. God of War: Ragnarok (Woke) → Inclusive characters, modern fatherhood themes, some controversial redesigns.

5. The Last of Us Part 1 → Heavy emotional story, strong LGBTQ+ representation.

Refuted by @Hexenhammer: "The Last of Part 1 is not woke, not even remotely, there is no "strong lesbian" representation, there is father and daughter story and single semi-kill in DLC"

6. Horizon Forbidden West → Follows the same themes as Zero Dawn, with more diversity and inclusion.

7. Spider-Man Remastered → Some diversity but not as prominent as in Miles Morales or Spider-Man 2.

8. God of War (2018) → Focuses on fatherhood and redemption, but less on diversity themes.

9 . Ghost of Tsushima → Samurai-centered story, more traditionalist and less "woke."

Can you notice the pattern? Because I do.

EDIT: "Oh, but they sold 500 Gazillion copies in 2017 on the PS when woke was not even a buzzword..."

Oh, no! Anyway... read the thread again.

I only got halfway through the Horizon games but I don't remember it being woke, just really goofy. But nobody does lead female characters better than Capcom. Nobody.

Dude I am super anti woke but this is a funny post.

Here is the thing. If a dev wants make a game with a little diversity etc fine or with a gay/lesbian character again fine. The problem I have is when games like Vanguard or the last of us 2 beat it over your head.

Calling a game like Horizon woke is hilarious. Sure it has a female lead, so what as long as the story isn't trash and the game isn't constantly throwing it in your face breaking any immersion.

There are 2 Horizon games, I suppose you are talking about the first one. If so, I agree with what you said, Idk why ChatGPT put the first one (Horizon zero down, number 3 on the list) so high in the woke scale.

Horizon Zero Down and Horizon Forbidden West( Number 6 on the list) should have their places swapped. As the other user said: they uglyfied the ♥♥♥♥ out of Alloy.

Anything touched by sweet baby is a pass for me.

All your favorite games have Sweet Baby involved in one way or another.
Go ahead, do some searching. Enjoy.

I'll correct it just for you.

You're too vague to make a point, ironically not sounding 'brave' and not addressing anyone directly. You chicken?

Now include numbers for the original platforms where a lot of those games sold really really well.

But, crucially, the more woke sequels, such as Ragnarok and Spider Man 2, sold much less than the originals, even on Playstation

Truth is people really avoid woke stuff. It's unpredictable how it affects sales, but woke sequels I agree is more consistent in how it affects them.

yup. They now speak with their wallet and It's a good thing.

The thing we need to take into consideration with this game though isn't the wokeness, but the fact it seems to be a very poor port.
