To me the real problem with political games is that a political game, to be enjoyable, has to be more good than political.
Disco Elysium is extremely political. It is also a very well written game. So I enjoyed playing it.
AAA studios tend to make a game with an LGBT character or a minority character and when people don't like it, they blame representation. While people are actually mad at a game being a bad game.
The fact that people are downvoting you for speaking an objective fact is a travesty. Diversity is only as political as the writer chooses to make it, and having characters of different races, genders and orientations without putting in the effort to make them feel three-dimensional will not magically make a badly-written game into a good one.
Maybe they think I'm doing a dog whistle of some sort.
Maybe they are mad because I didn't name AAA games which do that, I found it difficult to name examples because I haven't played any recently.

if the entire punchline wasn't in the title and the first paragraph this could have been really clever.
I miss the days when satire was subtle and non-political. but when the time is right we will make satire great again.
