Great news. I hope its performance on the Switch is good.
It seems the woke boycott didn't work :)
If by "woke" you mean those that refuse to stand-by racism, nazism, homophobia, slavery and more... Then no. The boycott didn't work.
Many individuals on the progressive/left-leaning side didn't really care for the politics surrounding the game and enjoyed it for what it is.
You make a good game, you get success.
Thank God it didn't work! Top Gun Maverick, Mario Bros. Film, this game, Bud Light backlash. Finally this woke stuff is dying!
I would rather be "woke" than one of those individuals who only moan about the woke.
World is a big place man. Go out and enjoy it and stop letting the small stuff upset you.
I will! I don't live in San Francisco, Portland, Chigaco nor any other woke paradise so I can safely go out. And I'll stop letting the small stuff upset me when people stop calling others racists, misogynists, homophobes and many other ists and phobes. Funny how attacks come from so pro diverse and inclusive people.
No one has attacked you or called you anything unsavory.
And even if they did, you did start it by attacking others, reap what you sow.
Don't act like the victim, it's not a good look for you when you aren't the victim.
I just said the woke stuff is dying. If you think that's an attack, so be it! That's the difference. People are starting to give a damn for that woke BS. We are sick of it and we don't care if snowflakes like it or not. Better get used to it!
It's really not.
And people who do nothing but endlessly complain about it (I.E. Like yourself) are just as bad as the woke.
Try to move yourself above this rubbish, not be a part of it.
I wanna be part of it. I wanna help end this madness. To be a bystander is to be a coward and let others decide the directions of society.
No. Those who are mature Adults walk away.
To be a "part of it" is just driving the drivel and making things toxic.
You are part of the problem.
That's what people like you say. "do nothing, comply, otherwise you're part of the problem". So be it. I don't care. Call me "a problem" or "toxic". Feel free to call me whatever you like. That's what you always do. Label people hoping they'll give up. I'm picking a side and sticking with it.
So it's as big as the movies already? And that number is gonna keep going up, especially if they release some good DLC too!
Pretty amazing results. Good games are rewarded.
I hope the Switch port is good.
Enjoying the game after picking second hand for 40% less. Have its flaws but it is good.
Well deserved. It's Avery addictive game with lots to do
