Just discontinued subscription due to Wuk and increased wokeness across SE corp.

I think by "western wokeness" it means consistent poor writing on black and LGBTQ characters that ruined movies and games, especially on existing IPs

DEI values people's color of skin and gender identity instead of talent, experience, and expertise. I don't what's the word for gender identity one, but, for the skin color one, it was called racist 10 years ago

DEI and all that jazz is a scapegoat for racists to push up their ideas. The problem is always women, it's always people of color. It did not become worse because people value gender and skin color more than "talent" and "experience". It was the same 12 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. It's just that marketing-wise, what was well seen to prop up 15 years ago were "White Male Dude in their Thirties, a 3-day beard and a mood". Now marketing realized that having more diversity makes product sell more. They can even, in all their despicable cynicism, market on "first X in this series" and try to create an event. It's still marketing cynicism. Meanwhile, game devs and creators have always tried to make diverse games, it's not new. It's maybe a bit easier nowadays.

It's the same as before. Don't give the time of day to grifters trying to tell you it's the fault of "DEI", or SJW, or any trendy word to hide racism and misogyny. DEI is not ruining your games, poor dev conditions are, always, always will be.

EDIT : As for OP, if you've played FF for the last 37 years as you claim, and you're complaining about "wokeness" now, I'd suggest a good visit to the ophtalmologist, because in design and story, FF has always leaned into "wokeness".
