What these nose ring mafia wokesters dont realize is that wokeness doesn't sell at all. Almost every single woke game like Concord, Dustborn, Flintlock, SSKTJL, Saints Woke reboot, and many others were financial disasters and commercial FLOPS. Hell, Saints Row reboot was such a flop, that it caused its studio Volition to go bankrupt and shut down back in Sept of 2023 (exactly a year ago). And if thats not enough, the devs of Concord literally took Concord offline a few days ago on Sept 6th due to abysmal player numbers. Same with Dustborn, its all time player peak numbers was literally 83 people, not 8300, not 83,000 not 830,000, but literally 83 people. Dont believe me? Then google it yourself. Numbers dont lie. Sales numbers dont lie. And studio closures (like Volition) dont lie. Wokeness simply doesn't sell, because if it did then all those games I mentioned above would've been a runaway success, but they're NOT. As I said, facts dont care about your feelings. Dont like it?
