T.A. Blackstone 🔞 (Comms Open): I always point to Baldur's Gate 3 as proof that that adage is pure bullshit. It's probably one of the wokest games ever made and it was a smash fucking hit.

funny how chuds looooove to claim that "go woke, go broke" and yet and yet

I always point to Baldur's Gate 3 as proof that that adage is pure bullshit. It's probably one of the wokest games ever made and it was a smash fucking hit.

It’s almost like when media tries to be more inclusive it appeals to more people or something Wild concept, I know :V

The only reason anyone can argue “go woke go broke” is that there’s more to appealing to a large audience than inclusivity. If your game is inclusive, but it’s not enjoyable to play, then inclusivity won’t make it a success.

they act as if the mere act of having some sort of inclusive design, or storytelling or *anything* not pandering directly to them and their tastes is self-evidently bad.

bud light stocks actually went way up after collaborating with Dylan, sure they went down with all the conservatives leaving but it went back up again

Yep, exactly. Turns out you can't shine a turd into being anything that people will want to buy for their living room, who knew?

A few years back, a tabletop game company I used to work for fired a transphobic writer. If you listened to the chuds, it was pure Go Woke, Go Broke and they swore to drive the company into bankruptcy. Their last Kickstarter campaign made over 7.5 million dollars.
