The most immediate example I can think of was called "Subverse," which was directly advertised as some sort of anti-SJW (I think it was called that at the time because woke/DEI weren't quite in common use yet) awooga pandering game where you played some boring ego insert that had a space harem that marked as many safe dopamine boxes for boring nerds as possible to pander to freeze-gamer gaters and cater to their cooming needs.

The game was boring. Full stop. It was boring. The gameplay itself was shallow and uninspired, and even the le sexy sex scenes were boring according to the general assessment of the very same treat hogs it was targeted to pander toward.

"Yandere Simulator" would count if that steaming pile of irradiated shit ever actually got completed. It was like Star Citizen for kiddie creeping weeb gooners, but less profitable.

    there are just not many chuds to justify a good budget for a game. the whole go woke go broke thing is their game of pretending they are part of the majority. if they flinch even for a second and admit they are a minority their whole world shatters.

    also controversial opinion but maybe less sexy stuff in games? i would appreciate it honestly.

      It's too bad it's basically a very hot take, but I feel the same way. Cheap lazy committee-designed awooga bores me.

        need more heartfelt cute stuff like Life is Strange that spawns entirely communities shipping characters. I'd rather see a thousand more games like that than the awooga shit. Like these people do know porn exists right?

          I am very pro sensuality and sexual expression in fiction. Cheap "thump against wall dry-humping" movie trailer gimmicks and especially SV for hog feeding's sake are nyet to me.

            on an unrelated note, there is a new show about the Nautilus and crew that so far one episode in is extremely based and depicts the british and the East India company specifically as the evil fucks they are and it rules. I wish we got more high budget retellings of the classics that acknowledge the terrible shit of the era in which they were written.
