Do you mean RDR2 is woke? From the videos I've seen it's more like opposite - the protagonist is a straight white male and manly to boot, most other chars are too and there were no stronk wahmen or empowered minorities. Mind you I've only watched like the first 3 hours of the game.

Don't tell me it's SJW infested, I'm quite looking forward to play it when it comes to Steam.

It's SJW infested. Your character is part of a band of LGBTQ+ multicultural outlaws that includes blacks and indians. There's one encounter with an NPC who is preaching the evil of race mixing, and your choices are either A) call him a bigot or B) beat the shit out of him, no choice of agreeing with him which I wanted to do.

It's great that Kevin Spacey is still getting work!

If the protag is a member of such group then the choices for that encounter is sensible but the question is were there really such mixed outlaw groups in murica at the time?

It ain't. I mean yeah you have a couple black guys as gang members and a native and the lead characters aren't racist when it comes to skin colors. But it's not SJW in that it would be preachy and badly written.

I don't see anything wrong with a Wild West gang having black members. If anything it'd be more natural for blacks to gravitate to the shady corners of the society when they were not accepted by the mainstream as equals.

Does the game acknowledges though this kind of mixing was looked down at by the wider society? Because it absolutely was, even decades later, let alone at the turn of the century.

Knowing nuRockstar, you'll play as a Moor travelling to backwards Europe to teach the people about social justice and feminism.

There's at least one strong wahmyn, and a bunch of other highly suspect bullshit shown in this video:

I would be interested in it, despite mediocre popamole gameplay, if it at least provided a nice classic western atmosphere but it doesn't seem like it does. In GTA I can at least ignore whiny characters who won't shut up by having fun traversing the map at high speeds and mixing in stunt jumps whenever I can, but in this you only have horses so I don't see all that much potential for fun.

It's a game from a yankee perspective mixed with modern views, but not as contemporary/modern as for example the Greeks in AC Odyssee are. It's definitely not a "Lost Cause" game - not in the least. So far, I didn't find anything/anyone sympathetic towards the South.

He probably doesn't like factual comments like "Henry is dull af, ditch him in the sequel" so he is saying "go make your own sequel without Henry you dumb fuck" :P

https://torrentfreak.com/kingdom-co...s-office-with-framed-codex-pirate-nfo-200110/

The developer of the action role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance is celebrating the success of its 2018 hit title in an unorthodox and humorous fashion. As part of a redecoration of its offices in Prague, Warhorse Studios has hung a massive framed replica of a Codex NFO file which was distributed along with the pirated version of its game.


For most game developers around the world, piracy is no laughing matter. Particularly on PC, games are pirated in their millions, diverting large revenues away from creators thus damaging the market, many believe.

But for Warhorse Studios, the developer behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance, having a laugh at piracy isn’t off-limits. The fun began early January 2020 when Daniel Vávra, a Czech video game designer and director who co-founded Warhorse Studios, took to Twitter to reveal a revamp of the company’s headquarters in Prague.

“So after a year, we finally decorated walls of our office. And since I hate looking at ‘work’ when going to toilets, I chose some old school classics,” Vávra wrote. “But since it’s impossible to get those covers in hi-res I had to upscale them with AI software and the results are unbelievable!”


The results of these efforts are indeed impressive but the best was yet to come. A special presentation, taking pride of place in what looks like a luxurious kitchen area at the developer’s offices, was this week posted to Twitter.

“Among posters with some classic old school games, we put this poster on a very special spot,” Vávra revealed along with a ‘crying/laughing’ emoji.

kingdom-come-deliverance-framed-e1578646993424.jpg

For those unfamiliar with this image, it’s an exact replica of the NFO file (information file) created by the infamous cracking group ‘Codex’ after the group cracked the minimal protection on Kingdom Come: Deliverance and placed a pirated version on the Internet.

Of course, this shows that Warhorse has a wicked sense of humor but perhaps the developer has already had the last laugh.

The pirated PC version of the game appeared online within hours of the official Steam release on February 13, 2018 but shortly after an official copy was put on sale completely DRM-free via GOG. This suggests that spending lots of money on something like Denuvo wasn’t on the agenda and the developer wasn’t overly concerned about the effects of piracy on the title.

In the event, sales were excellent. According to an IGN report published two days after launch, the game had already sold half a million copies including more than 300,000 on Steam, a feat that pushed it to the top of the best-sellers list. Within a week it had sold a million copies.

Then, on the first anniversary of the game’s release, two other interesting pieces of news landed at the same time.

The first was that despite day-and-date piracy, Kingdom Come: Deliverance had sold an impressive two million copies. The second was that Warhorse Studios had been acquired by THQ Nordic for €33.2 million after the Czech studio generated €42 million in revenue during 2018 alongside €28 million in pre-tax earnings.

Not bad at all when one considers that Kingdom Come: Deliverance was Warhorse’s first release after raising funding for the title via a 2014 Kickstarter campaign.

anyway those posters are :obviously:

And you expected what Comrade? The only North American Company which is not hamfisting their brand of Trotskysm onto their games lately is Bethpida, sure people were criticizing all kind of stuff in Fallout 76 but SJW was not one of them. In Current year even Poles and Bohemians are not allowed to make games about their past without inclusion of race and gender ideaolo as seen by Yankee urbanites perspective so why Rockstar would?
