While it's true that American's aren't able to rely on their government to use their tax money to cover all their drug habits like canadians do, I wouldn't know much about that scene as I've never been into it. >>I fully support games that target or favor specific demographics (all >>genders / races / sexual orientation etc).

All of those games (of the ones I've played) have some element of woke in them in recent versions. I think FC2 was the last Far Cry game to emerge without DEI based game design. I've still enjoyed them to a certain extent despite that, but you're kidding yourself if you think they weren't affected. You can't even get past the character customization screen these days in an Ubi game without feeling the influence.
