Exactly. Woke is just a symptom not the reason. It’s hard to see a beloved series go bad but people should learn to move on if the game is bad. Just buy the game when it’s good and the problem is solved.
Woke is not a symptom. What people usually complain about with “woke” is more choices for the player to personalize their experience.
Body type 1 or 2 instead of male female? Woke.
Different skincolors? Woke.
Woman in charge? Woke.
I think it’s a symptom because the creators using it to hide their bad games, and the idiots think the game is bad because it’s woke. If the game is already bad, it’s bad. Dragon Age games were always diverse and Dragon Age Origins was epitome of its genre. No one is talking about it being woke.

How does this work in particular? The hiding bit? Doesn’t it actually draw attention, considering how many people then spam “OMG SO WOKE!11!!angry-1!!” and so on threads everywhere?
They indeed draw attention. It’s basically there is no good or bad advertising from their point. However, this is a fantasy world and people would like to see psychically appealing characters, especially the playable ones. I believe this is the root issue.
When they have no good material, they start to promote unrelated things to gameplay. This is just one of those things.
If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.
