Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

      Tbf most conservatives probably haven’t played BG3 or know much of anything about it/forgotten realms. They aren’t exactly the target audience

      BG3 was so well received, they couldn’t use the term “Go woke, go broke”.

      Starfield has a lot more flaws in that regard.

      The BG3 steam forums were full of alt-right shills screaming about pronouns when the game launched. It’s just that starfield is newer so that’s where they all moved.
