Are Video Games Too Woke Now?

from Septic Sauce - A Gaming Podcast · host Septic Sauce

Are videogames too woke now? This topic keeps rearing its head but the art director at Obsidian did nothing to swell the debate but add fuel to it with his controversial statements that even got Elon Musk involved. You see it all the time. Pronouns in games, switched gender roles, or issues regarding race. Is their merit in the arguments of those detractors that bemoan developers seeking inclusivity? Is the drive for inclusivity coming at the cost of the cogency and integrity of the stories told in games? Or is the discontent being amplified by bad actors who are just grifting? We also talk about Sony and its potential acquisition of Kodakawa. I believe we should welcome it barring the concerns regarding the monopoly in anime. In other news, Elon Musk is apparently looking to get into game development using AI to make gaming great again, apparently. We got an egregious copy of the Horizon games with Light of Motriam, reviewers are now playing have Indiana Jones, the driector of the Final Fantasy series says he wants FF7 on more platforms and a lot more.
