I wanted to bring this up, cause I'm laughing at the idiocy of gaming journalists.

They're now claiming Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a game made by ex Ubisoft employees, a game that focuses on themes that can really strike close to home to people, with characters that look great and actually act nice, that doesn't use real life politics as pandering or preaching, is a "success for woke", whatever that word even means at this point in this day and age.

I remember when Monster Hunter Wilds came out they said the exact same thing. Which if I recall was ironic since I think some of them were getting upset at its existence leading up to its release beforehand.

So the same people praising games like Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age Veilguard, and Assassin's Creed Shadows are trying to lump in Expedition 33, a game that doesn't insult its audience, as a "victory" for them? What even is there to have a "victory" about? Expedition 33 is a good game. The devs actually listen to the community (since for one, they don't talk down to people, and celebrate copies sold, not players because they couldn't brave admitting their game undersold, unlike the three other games mentioned), and the game actually plays well and in a unique way that hasn't been seen in a very long time.

I just wanted to bring this up cause I find it funny how predictably meek these journalists are. I remember when these same journos didn't say the exact same copy pasted homework in every article they made. They at least had the dignity to make "unique" articles for everything, and not directly say the same stuff half the time, change the wording to make it look like they didn't copy the other half. So it makes me laugh how they saw yet another good game succeed on its own merit, and their first reaction to realising they can't dogpile it is to try and claim it's their "victory".
