It feels like the term “woke” has become a norm for major AAA titles released recently with the backlash coming from it negatively affecting said video games. The biggest example of this phenomenon is Dragon Age: Veilguard which flopped massively partly due to the backlash said woke elements in the game caused.
Now, the upcoming action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is facing similar criticism from fans. However, the game’s developer is holding no prisoners and is directly calling out fans over the woke backlash, calling them nothing more than grifters.
Why it matters: Many gaming companies are suffering from reactionary backlash from fans so a developer stepping up to defend the game and clarify its motive is a bold move.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dev Hits Out At Reactionary Fans
Daniel Vavra, who is the co-owner of Warhorse, posted on X about a YouTuber saying that the backlash has caused preorder refunds for the upcoming title. Vavra completely discarded this rumor saying that the game’s sales have been completely unaffected by said backlash.
The Warhorse co-owner said that the refund ratio for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the same as before and pre-orders have not dropped after the preview embargo lifted. According to Daniel Vavra, discounted games have taken the top spots on the Steam global seller list, naturally bringing the RPG down a few spots.
Hence, the developer has shut down the narrative from reactionary fans, confirming that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is performing according to expectations. The woke backlash against the title started just recently due to a certain optional romance present in the game’s storyline.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Reportedly Banned In Saudi For Certain Romance Scenes.
Your playable character Henry, who was also the protagonist in the first game, has the option to have an LGBTQ partner. However, this storyline is entirely optional, as Vavra points out in another post, and nobody is forced to do anything, hence destroying the “forced diversity” argument.
