Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
Honestly, using the woke label should be classified as hate speech. “Woke” is literally anything that goes after hate speech, favors different point of views, and empowers traditionally suppressed groups. For all their claims that woke is somehow recent, the loudest proponents don’t have any problems going back a few centuries and to call that woke. It’s just an attempt at gaslighting critics who themselves don’t have the moral foundation to admit it. They are worse than the hardcore racists because at least they have the decency to be honest about it.
For all the flak I give GOG, I will actually have to praise them over Steam if they take a decent stand on this, but I suspect that they will join in with Steam and avoid virtue signalling on this lest they risk the wrath of “many gamers”.

Woke means aware of social injustice. Which interestingly, is being aware of how hate speech laws can be unjust.
