I don’t think wokeness is the thing that ruins the modern gaming.
It’s the greedy publishers that crunches the shit out of developers. That’s why we’ve been getting shitload of unfinished video games.

DEI, over monitization, and antagonizing the customer
The reason I have so many games, and so many I haven't finished, is due to not being able to stay still and pay attention for long these days.
For me, it is enforcement of DEI ideaology and uglification and trying to realism games.
Good storytelling is a must for me for me to enjoy a single player game. Online games are more about immersion and how the game feels on pvp combat.
Video Game “Journalism” aka San Fran hipsters 😢
Modern Audiences. Case in point, “The Last of Us Part 2.” I don’t give a fk about what Ellie does in her bedroom. FJB.
Live service sucks, especially when you can't play offline. The vast majority of my library is physical media. An entire digital library can be taken away any time. Just remember that. I like my console gaming as well. Was never a PC gamer. However, you don't mention the w0ke nonsense injected into our favorite video games. I get many of you try to avoid that issue but frankly, it's the number 1 issue because everything else follows it. Suicide squad, the new star wars games, etc are epic fails because of w0ke nonsense. Keep your politics out of my entertainment period. We play games to escape reality from this clownworld we live in.
Wokeness
Political statements.
Woke consultant companies infiltrating gaming companies. Changing the lore and adding bs that no one asked for.
Predatory main menu's filled with reminders to buy DLC or other games within the franchise. Looking at you Assassins Creed Odyssey.
This channel tip toeing on the rise of 'for modern audience' kinda makes me think what type of journalist they are.
1) tourists
2) virtue signaling
3) d.e.i.
4) feminists
5) incomplete games released with promise of patches
The focus set on multiplayer and not story is what bugs me as much as paying for every little thing for games.
DEI and ESG too but corporate won't let them say those things
Imagine paying $70 for broken , unfinished and uninspiring games. Its becoming the norm with rare exceptions.
To Be Clear: $70 is NOT acceptable to me. I wait until the game is half price or less. The game is still brand spanking new to me and I pay 75% or less than what release chumps pay.
15 things ruining YouTube A.I. made videos with no effort (cough cough)
I dont like F2P games. And I wont ever pay 70 bucks for a game unless is my favorite game series, Smash Bros.
