  Sorry, you’re correct- it’s not the reviews, but the comments on any announcement made by the devs.

  The lack of mouse icon next to their names means those Steam accounts don’t own the games.

    I wonder how many of them are just bots tbh

    Cause the game is pretty inherently political. The setting is a farcical fascist govt…

      It’s a coordinated effort to make those bigoted assholes seem to be a larger number than they actually are. And we can blame Steve Bannon for that.

        Also everyone who participates in the narrative that “regressive are swamping the gaming industry”.

    I mean on the plusside, you always know that whenever anybody uses the word “woke” as if it were a real word, you can immediately add them to the blocklist or ban them. Nothing they can add has any value any more.

    I see three comments, two of which mention wokeness and one of which mentions sending the dev team to re-education camp.

    None of the comments is solely about wokeness. Wokeness is mentioned in conjunction with politics.

    One of the comments wants to make sure the game stays “neutral”.

    Note that zero of these comments are complaining about diversity. To those who criticize wholeness, it is a distinct thing from diversity.

    Do you know what people are referring to when they use that word?

      1. I provided a screenshot as an example. Obviously I’m not going to link to every fucking bigoted comment. Those were the top three comments; two of which were useful to my point.

      2. Note that zero of these comments are complaining about diversity

      Here, let me make one bigger for you:

      They “think” adding more diversity in the form of inclusion and LGBT representation would make the game worse, since apparently that point wasn’t as clear as, say, a fucking foghorn.

      3. Do you know what people are referring to when they use that word?

      Yes. “Woke” means “anything that threatens my worldview of white masculine superiority and reminding me that non-white, non-straight, non-male people exist and should be represented in art hurts my fee-fees.”

      But sure, explain how it’s really about “ethics in gaming journalism”.
