We're also in the midst of an oft-cited cultural and political "vibe shift." People who have a problem with this stuff feel more emboldened than ever to speak their minds about it, and Vavra and Warhorse's reactions essentially egged them on at every step of the way. KCD2 is probably not Concord, Suicide Squad, Nigger Creed, etc, but the devs acted just like the insufferable shit-heads who worked on those games so people reacted as they do when encountering pompous, arrogant devs. As others have pointed out, he has no one to blame but himself.
Right, the tide has turned, and after watching all of my favorite things get raped by the wokenoids, my philosophy has become scorched earth. Our society has been tolerating this garbage my entire life, and i've only ever seen normalcy lose ground. As a result, not only am I and many others saying not one step back, but also attack, attack, attack, because we know as soon as we relent, the fagaloons will be back, worse than ever. I really loved KCD1, its one of my favorite games from the past 10 years, but if 2 has to die for woke to be removed, then thats sacrifice i, and many many others, are willing to make. Woke wages total culture war, which has only one rule - win at all costs. They have to be met with the same mentality. Cancel the wokenoids, call their jobs and get them fired, deplatform them, close their bank accounts, persecute them with tax collectors, wipe them out. Every tactic they use must be used against them in turn, and then some, because they will gleefully do it to you. We cannot afford to show them decency, magnanimity, grace or mercy, as we have seen the consequences of doing so - we lose everything.
Anyways, would you rather be morally superior or get your way? I want my way.
Dev cycles are so long now that a lot of titles that started development in 2020 are going to come out soon-ish and it's going to be hilarious.
Watching them fail has become my main form of entertainment, ill be right there to rub salt in the wound. Suffah, game devs.
