Something must be going on at Ubisoft. They cancelled their Tokyo Game Show stream without any explanation as well.

Do you have examples of DEI'd games? Do you have sources for saying devs don't want to do it anymore? So far I only know of guys that record videos of themselves screaming "fucking pronouns" being offended by the mere presence of pronouns, and that's not even "DEI". There's also that weird steam recommendation character who criticizes every game that has a woman who isn't meant to be a sex object, but these are all very fringe and often severely disturbed people, not at all representative of any real impactful opinions.

EDIT: Of course I don't mean to say that these anti-woke beliefs aren't dangerous in the right hand, or that anti-woke anti-justice warriors can't pose a danger to anyone, but their beliefs do not need to be discussed and argued with every time, and definitely not in good faith.

The funko pop star wars nintendo pronoun screamers are to the political right what Alex Jones is to Ronald Reagan
