Few easy examples:

Hollywood --> Massively woke
Gillette --> Yes
ActivisionBlizzard --> yes

It's clear isn't it? Obviously there are companies that don't feel the need to be part of this but you know what I mean.

I mean I would not believe you if stated that you cannot see what's happening around you.

If sanding off the edges to reach wider appeal falls under woke then I struggle to think of any corporate actions that wouldn't also.

When that massively backfires like was the case with D3 I doubt if it was worth it. I mean D3 sold well but the franchise sustained a massive hit. Have you visited JSP's D4 forums to check activity?

Remember the Gillette backlash?

Woke hollywood movies that hardly break even because they just gender swapped a franchise? (And ruined the franchise, several examples that I can give you)

Just make good content for your fans, they want to be entertained not lectured ;)

but D3 didn't lecture anybody. You're just putting every corporate action under the same label. Like, I understand why Gilette was said to be "woke". I disagree that it's a criticism, but the label makes sense. It doesn't make any sense to label D3 as woke.

It’s unfortunate how commonplace this type of behavior probably is

D3 still & will always suck for a myriad of reasons

I’m still buying / playing D2R with the boys & using locker-room vernacular to describe all the noobs we kill

We should get a pard squad together

Did you follow D3 development? I did and they constantly lectured D2 players. They acted like they knew it all better

Haven't even touched on it yet but did you not notice the various fuckups Blizzard made over the last few years? Like sacking 800 employees after announcing record earnings? https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2019/02/12/activision-blizzard-to-layoff-nearly-800-employees/sh=2610540f76f5
Or the Blitzchung incident where they banned a Hong Kong Heartstone player that merely executed free speech? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzchung_controversy
I'm giving you examples links etc all the time, pointing out that this woke BS stinks, the last couple links here show they're in fact a bunch of stinking hypocrites.
You've presented nothing in this debate that shows the opposite, just your opinion. Not surprising, I know you're woke and just fail to recognize all this BS happening around you.

Yeah, you're just confirming what I was saying. Everything bad goes into the "woke" category. It's no longer meaningful to call something woke because you're just using it as a synonym for bad with no other meaning.

Or it's just that you're fine with all of that. All I see you do is supporting woke BS whenever it is mentioned on this subforum.

Still very funny that your first post indicates that you were very disappointed with D3, heh. Like, I support political correct games that widen the audience but when I happen to buy one I'm so disappoint.

Made my day.
