The European Union parliament has taken up the debate about the Stop Killing Games movement and whether game publishers have the responsibility to keep their titles online after players have already purchased and played them for years. However, Slovakian politician Milan Uhrik decided to derail the conversation by focusing on his personal beef with the gaming industry rather than addressing the issue at hand.
“Wokeness and aggressive monetization is destroying videogames,” said Uhrik when it was his turn to speak. “One thing that is definitely destroying video games is the crazy, woke ideology and political correctness which is being forced into the games. For example, if we want to play as a samurai, obviously we want to play as a Japanese warrior and not to be forced to play as a Black person warrior or female warrior as it happened recently in Assassin’s Creed. Or to play as a queer character, without any other choice. This is an issue, really, for players.”
