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.

Ironically there are no anti-woke games done by major studios since it would be actual financial suicide to cater to that crowd

I guess the biggest anti-woke game in recent memory was the wizard gestapo nostalgia treat extravaganza where you can be a nice or less nice magic pogrom enjoyer.

I don't think that game even qualifies. Had it come out in like 2017 chuds wouldn't have given a shit about the game

Culture war fronts are all about timing.

If the 1980s Aliens movie came out today as a brand new entry, the chuds would crusade against it and probably doxx and stalk the actors involved for years. frothingfash
