List of "Woke" games?

[GloriousZote]

I hope it's alright by the mods if we here decide to try and work together to make a list of games and/or game studios that have some symptoms of Wokism/ESG culture, I think it would be great if people knew what to avoid if they don't want anything to do with such, I'll let other people start, to see if people here even care at all.

Isn´t any game woke nowadays? In any game forum i look at, someone shows up - complaining about the woke agenda of the devs - and then a whole bunch of people follows, and it´s the most important issue of the game, while these people not even have game ownership here on steam, and are probably alt accounts.

Total War - woke.
EU4 - woke.
If You have the option to choose a gender / pronoun: woke.
If there are females: woke.
If there´s one second in the trailer, which shows something different: woke.

Any bugs with the game, or gameplay issues, or game optimization: doesn´t matter. Probably the devs would be too woke if they could focus on that, instead on the crying of some idiots - which also call everyone who asks if that is really that important a shill, or bootlicker.

you mean female as lead character? Having female as lead character isn't woke. There have been so many ancient stories using female as main character in human story, all around the world, it isn't woke. Even the Lord of rings trilogy had strong female characters, it's been 20+ years and those movies would still beat any Hollyweird movies nowadays.

What does matter is the "message".

I wish these game companies would stick with making great games and less on infusing politics into them. Leave the politics to CNN and Fox News.

Keep in mind this is more from research when I look to buy a new game, so I have not played all of these.

Non-Woke games:

Robocop
Assassin's Creed Mirage (Although some hating on men)
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Ghostrunner II
Lies of P
The Callisto Protocol
Scars Above
Armored Core VI
Final Fantasy XV


Woke Games:

Dead Space remake
Howarts
Baldur's Gate 3
Final Fantasy XVI
Spider-man 2
Far Cry 6
Call of Duty (newer version)
TLou2
Mass Effect: Andromeda
MK11


Most new games from EA or Ubisoft are usually going to force a political message with a specific point of view. Nintendo first party typically doesn't seem to participate in this.

What is woke about the Dead Space remake?

The worst part about that game is the utter ♥♥♥♥ PC optimisation and EA completely abandoning patching it to fix those problems.

In TW: Warhammer they called it woke because of certain factions being mixed gender, or exclusive female units - and before in Rome Total war, when they introduced female generals, but then there wasn´t a popular term like woke...

There basically is no message. It´s just that there are women for certain factions...

Final Fantasy XV isn't woke, yet it's literally about a mentally ill girl who saves the day by inventing the air ship her terrorist father couldn't.

Does it have to have black people in to be woke? :tgrin:

Sazh was more popular than the entire cast of 13, so they took all the black people out.

Why would you want to avoid woke games? Are you a racist or just a right wing ideologue who isn't clever enough to see what right wing politics are really about?

The origins of the movement lead back to the UK, most likely due to Russian influence over Parliament. (which presumably leads back to the crown, but good luck proving that)

The CIA ran a lot of programs meant to alienate Russia's disparate racial groups from the larger country. Militarizing the Khazzaks and getting them autonomy, for example. The process of dealing with UK's voluminous exports of red-faced racism had made them rather adept at manipulating those particular levers.

Russia had a nice, de-racialized authoritarian government before that, more or less.

Now they're propping up ♥♥♥♥♥ Riot as controlled opposition so they can portray cossacks as Khazaks and slapping mail coifs on anything that moves.

From a strictly Authoritarian Real Politk position, that's sad.

Subnautica. They had a sound-woman who came out as conservative and they fired her over it and then tried to walk it back by blaming it on her work.

Beyond that, they created the game and intentionally left out guns because they wanted to do a gun free video game and even made a point to saying video games shouldn't have guns in them...

Ironically their video game is about crash survivor after crash survivor being eaten by the sea-life because they don't any a gun to protect themselves.

Given that woke people at woke universities are literally chanting about genociding Jews and woke Professors are protecting their right to say it, I think it's time to put to rest the whole "right-wingers are the real racist" bra...just saying.
