   Volition seems to have closed because of unrelated bad business decisions by their shitty holding company parent, not because they went woke with Saints Row or whatever. Maybe they didn't make the cull because they were underperforming though.

     @Moon kind of annoying how the reaction online has shifted. When EA killed westwood et al it was "wow this parent company sucks, they had them make shitty games and then shut them down".
     Now its "LMAO GO WOKE GO BROKE GET FUCKED" by people who would never play the games anyways.
     Not like volition has made a great game since 7th gen, but i digress

     @why I get it, woke non-indie games suck dick and people are tired of having the dick rammed down their throat, but I just wanted to know what actually happened and it doesn't seem to be yeah LMAO GO WOKE GO BROKE, just a shitty holding company that doesn't actually give a shit about games stuck a knife in their back.

     @animeirl @why literally all I care about is if it's a well made game so good for them if they figured out how to say what they wanted to say while doing that

     @itzpaquet @why I excluded indie games because there's both high "woke" content and high quality available in the same games. if you like it that's great.

     @Moon @why turns out pandering to twitter enbies with pronoun options in character creation doesn't ruin your game as long as you actually focus on making a good game. it also wont make your shitheap game good

     @animeirl @why I guess I reserve the right to hate a game that says things I find awful or annoying but I won't call it a bad game.

     @animeirl @why yeah it doesn't bother me usually. there's a shitload of indie games like this, I am actually happy that indie games are reaching underserved audiences.

     @why woke is a stupid term anyway, it's just kind of a shorthand for a type of pandering I guess. Yeah everything you said is true.

     @Moon saints row remake isn't "woke", it just fucking sucks. noone in the main cast (or the whole game? idk) is trans, the diversity is 90s tier, and the comedy is standard safe reddit writing. comments about socialism and racism are surface level references to the same degree as movie references.
     but i have no clue what "woke" means anymore. they just use the word for anything left of alex jones, its lost all meaning.
     
     i was gonna say about the "go woke go broke" crowd, they only ever seem to point to the social media PR intern. almost like the loudest assholes just live social media and were never interested in playing the actual game.
     funny, i used this description at another anti-video game culture warrior crowd about 10 years ago....
