Politics-Free ‘Black Myth’ Sells 10 Million In Three Days As DEI Games ‘Dustborn’ And ‘Concord’ Flop

Wokeness might be on its last life in the gaming world if the past two weeks were any indication. Two woke games have utterly collapsed upon release, while a new aggressively anti-woke game is doing gangbusters.

The Federalist Reports: The Chinese-developed “Black Myth: Wukong” has seen monumental success, selling a jaw-dropping 10 million copies in only three days. The game is based on the ancient Chinese classic Journey to the West and features a plethora of characters and items from the myth as enemies, companions, or accessories.

Notably absent is the forced diversity and politics many Western games have embraced of late, much to the chagrin of gaming journalists. Leftist outlet ScreenRant dinged the game for “lacking in inclusivity and diversity,” while Forbes reported that creators who requested a review copy of the game were asked not to include “politics” or “feminist propaganda” in their coverage.

God forbid a reviewer talk about the actual game and not their leftist bugaboos, right?

But as the gaming media gnash their teeth, the numbers speak for themselves. “Concord” may end up going into the history books as one of the biggest video game failures of all time while “Black Myth: Wukong” could shatter sales records.

The failures of “Concord” and “Dustborn” offer game developers a stark lesson: Nobody wants to buy these over-the-top woke disasters. Instead, developers should focus on courting gamers with the actual content they want, bereft of leftist politics.

As the old adage goes: Go woke, go broke.

    How has Hollywood and the gaming industry (these days tend to be one and the same) not yet figured out that DEI and entertainment is an absolute recipe for super-failure?
