Anyone who doesn't play a game because it's woke, has their head so far up the culture war ass, they have lost all reason.
It's also the same people where the message behind more subtle media is lost on them. Starship troopers, for example.
agreed, there is so much ~~lore~~ more to criticize about this game but of course this is what gets headlines and rage clicks.
Imho it's marketing. The game is bad, writing is bad, gameplay is boring after a while, it seems (except for technical optimization) the game itself is a big mobile game. The "woke criticism" is exploited by ea to sell more, since it create engagement and hide the real flaws of the game
