A screenshot of a new video game that was shared on X. It shows a beautiful landscape and a person riding a horse. The text says "We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?" The post was shared by Alice Ruppert and has 144,000 likes on X.

   A game developer shared a new project on X a few weeks ago and said she built it with Unreal Engine, to which some dude replied, "Woke studios always use pre-built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines."

   It was an INCREDIBLY stupid reply, which quickly became a meme in the gaming community.

   Godot then posted "Apparently game engines are woke now?" (an objectively solid post, TBH) and gamers claimed the post was "too political". That's the post this is all about.
