Even with funding getting back on track, the companies are still run by the same people. Conservatives have all LONG since been purged from the industry, a few of them may come back, but the majority have moved on with their lives. This is what I mean when I say new blood will be needed. I agree with your assessment. It will take time for the AAA studios to get back on track but it's really only possible for those behemoths. The small studios run entirely by woke idiots are doomed.
I dunno about all that. Where was the woke in Elden Ring?
If you're looking for games that are about total immersion, not modern day bullshit, I might recommend The Critical Drinker, HellVsBabyface, or Geeks & Gamers on youtube. They review a LOT of games, and can give a good idea what to expect.
It's been over 20 years since SJWs infested the gaming industry, so I get how it feels like they can never be rooted out. But several dozen REALLY good games came out in 2024, with no "woke" in them at all. It's just about finding them past all the trash.
Edit: There were also a bunch of good movies and shows that came out in 2024. Add Nerdrotic to that streamer review list and they can clue you into those as well. As I said, it's not about entrenchment, it's about endless funding being funneled in. Doesn't matter if the SJWs can maintain their stranglehold on ONE IP. Instead, it's about sheer volume. Their assumption is that if the overwhelming majority of what everyone sees is woke, pretty soon everyone will become woke because it's all they see.
