The Drama is DUMB - Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Go to surfshark.com/echelon for 4 extra months of Surfshark
After the wildly successful launch of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, some people have taken it upon themselves to deny reality, claim that some sort of "boycott" is working, manufacture outrage and condemn the game based on deceptive lies.
KCD 2 is a phenomenal success, a wonderful open world, and the "anti woke" crowd is rapidly becoming just as bad as the woke infestation before them.
Seeing as it was a game that was a big part of my early channel life as I grew on this platform, I wanted to take a minute and explain why none of this discourse is helpful, and it makes everyone deciding to push it look terrible.

Didn't mention any of the BS the developer stirring
in the end of the day its not that serious like actually bro get a life if you care that much about 1 scene this situation reminds of gow ragnarok an otherwise great game tainted by being called woke
KCD2 revealed that they don’t actually care about the quality of games. They never did. They only care about their sjw right wing narrative
RUclips creator ok with under age --- shocking O wait.
it IS sacrificing a piece of it's core identity for "the cause". keep on defending games with p33-do sodemy in them, just don't wonder why based people stop listening to you. i'm only here because i heard somewhere else you were defending the game.
Just because your ok with 15 year old boys being groomed and you should be on a list, dosent mean everyone has to feel the same way. Try to be more open minded and less of a Karen. Maybe stop drinking soy slime.
I can’t wait to get a new Xbox just to get this game😭
If your one of these people not playing this game because you think it's ''woke'' then your cutting off your nose to spite your face. Ridiculous!! Game of the year , I can't see anything else coming close .
I honestly don’t care about the gay romance option, more like I care about how they deal with it. Obviously being gay in this period is a death sentence or least imprisonment. So are they having this romance be a “hush hush don’t tell or let anybody see we love each other” or is this a “we are Spartans and we love gay butt-sex!” I think for this case the problem shouldn’t be “there is gay romance option” but “what is the gay romance option”
Yeah no. Can't agree with you on this one. Also idk what's going on in your life but your videos have started to come across as more and more whiny and self-righteous. You say you hate these people trying to tell you what to do then turn around and brow-beat your audience with your own personal opinion. Please go back to what made your videos interesting and made you different from many of the others on youtube.
I can't relate to damn near any story in a video game, as long as the gameplay drives the story and there are good characters/soundtracks along the way.
Not seen any weird shit yet in game, question is.... can you follow them home in the dead of night and do away with them? That'll fix it! ;)
Anti sjws are also sjws. Let them make their own game, they certainly aren't just a bunch of forklift drivers and walmart employees, right?.... right?
The people hating on KCD2 are the same type of shitheads as anita sarkeesian, and they cant even see it, trying to inject politics into a game where there is none and try to mess things up, just let games be games, getting mad about an optional hidden gay scene in an rpg, is a weird hill to die on
Some people were also calling the game woke because you can't kill the black muslim that calls Christian's backwards barbarians at the height of the Dark Ages
Idiots? Next time choose a better word to describe them who don't agree with you!
Yeah, a lot of idiots around... i dont understand the problem... its simple as... i like the game i buy it, i dont like the game i dont buy it... i dont care what everyone else thinks about it, if everyone liked the same thing we be no more than sheep...
Sadly I can't blame people for being the way they are nowadays. Does it make it right? No. But I can't blame them. Too many games and Iconic IPs have been destroyed in the name of the "woke agenda" and we've learned over the past few years that the "corruption" runs deep that now, even the mere whiff of anything that can be considered woke will send people into a frothing rage. I feel like if we swapped the releases of KCD2 and BG3, while the same major "wokeception" events played out the exact same up until now, BG3 would be getting the exact same backlash despite it's obvious and inevitable success. Again is it silly? Yes. But so much damage has been done that I really can no longer blame people jumping at shadows.
you're an idiot
I normally really enjoy your in depth research and passion into issues no matter the matter. So much so I recommend you to friends and acquaintances irl. But this take is so wrong. I respect your resilience to leave this video up but hope you return to your usual less biased videos.

"Buy the game from the lying devs you bigggot!" - Upper Cuck Games 2025
Frankly these days if a game is labeled as "not conforming with the agenda", than it's most definitely a purchase signal for me. Not that I do that for being "edgy" or whatever, after all I am a 9-5 basic guy, and I need to make the most out of my time and gaming experience. And literally this indicative is with games that are really good.
Who knew fansubbing anime with .ass subtitles would have prepared me for the AI apocalypse.
You're being Destiny levels of disingenuous! You've built a strawman of a few grifters. There sequel is massive departure from the original - there are dozens of examples of this game being extremely woke. Even the way all the npcs treat Henry is way worse, all the gross stuff is mostly in act 2 - keep playing and I hope you correct the record.
I spent well over two thousand hours playing the first KCD game. I was such an enthusiastic fan that I even made and released mods for the game. Naturally, I was looking forward to KCD 2 accordingly. But hhe communication from all sides since the game's release has been more than shameful. We had a code of conduct written by a Plaion employee that was clearly part of the woke mindset. Two days later Deep Silver deleted and rewrote it after a big backlash. Then we have a studio boss who wildly insults and belittles even creators who have stood up for his product. Not to mention his other shabby statements and accusations on X. Furthermore, we have a community manager who completely negotiates statements about Henry and KCD's plot that he made 8 years ago. And we obviously have a PR manager who is not doing his job. He should have prevented the drama in the first place. But he prefers to play the victim and cry like a little child. What's left is a never-ending slanging match that is anything but good publicity for the game. So, I'm not boycotting the game because of culture war and woke ideology, it's the treatment of critics and gamers by Vavra and others of Warhorse and Plaion which is unacceptable. This is not a positive way to advertise a product. If the makers are begging me not to buy the game, then I'm happy to comply. Simple and Easy. I'm obviously not alone in this opinion and I can understand anyone who is pissed off by such a treatment and behavior. So, please don't tell me that everyone who boycotts the game is an idiot. That's an insult to the intelligence of people with a different view of things. In my view, the real idiots are those who, despite everything that has happened, continue to throw their money down these people's throats. I would have expected you to take a more differentiated view of the whole drama, as you normally make good videos. This one is just garbage that fits seamlessly into the whole drama.
Venezualan Gold farmers has taken on a whole new meaning.
The game's popular on Steam. How is 150k players count as bad game at all?? My only complain that Hans is a minor. His canon age is 15 years old and the game away with allowing that as an option to be a groomer. That was it.
Let people be mad. Gamers have spoken with their vallets and its huge success. The game made development cost back in first day.
they are called "the woke right" ,they use the same playbook as the woke left
Is this guy 🏳️🌈? Or does he just want to be a contrarian? From my understanding, the main character was a lothario in the first game and decided he likes men in the new one. I haven’t played either game yet, but it does kind of sound like it was shoehorned in there to appease a small minority of people. Same can be said of a screenshot of an “African Muslim scholar” in Bohemia, explaining to the European savages that people are safer, more intelligent, and women are treated much better where he comes from
They publicluy lied ain't going to buy. Simple as that been burned too many times by creatives about lying about things to their customers.
Glad to see everyone calling him out. He will probably whine now cuz he called people idiots, and now he looks like one for not even fully covering the problem.
Massive swing & a miss from U.E. Well...better luck on next subject.
Ironic how you don't see what you're doing here perfectly mimics woke crowd as well. You pick and insult few hypocritical grifters while completely waving away the issues most people pissed at Warhorse have. Like lying to fans, game director insulting fans and telling them not to buy the game. Like changing straight characters gay or bi which is one of the prime identifiers of woke. Instead you go scorched earth just like Vávra. Doing the exact same thing we were complaining about when it came to Battlefield 1, for example. "It's just an amputee woman in a video game, what's your problem, moron? Don't like it, don't buy it." That's not what you were arguing back then. It is equivalent of what you're doing now. I've been subscribed to you for almost a decade at this point, I think, and this is your dumbest video. Don't give a shit about Hans's age in the codex, on first look the game character is older. But he also used to be straight as a pole just like Henry. You completely omitted that one of the devs mocked people complaining about this by saying they were straight in KCD1 "due to budget issues". And what about the black muslim merchant that is oh so much more civilized than anyone in Bohemia and even treats women better? Are you shitting me?!
It's a good game. You're all missing out.
If it’s not forcing into my face I don’t really care. If I wanted to role play as a gay man I’d go to a pride parade. This whole thing with Hans is dumb. It’s an option not a requirement. If you want to get mad at something let’s get mad at the fact that the lockpicking mini game is complete shit and had no improvements so far as I’ve discovered though I Havnt gotten far in it yet. Also why in half the scenes does Henry’s face look like it’s fucking melting.
Not good signs. It means the pendulum is beginning to reach as far as it's going to go. Which probably means we will be going back towards the wokies in the coming decade. The dum dums of either sude always push too far and lose the centre when they think momentum is behind them.
Are you okay? It seems like your voice is getting a little weaker, or am i hearing things?
If you care this much about a gay romance option in a game you should go for a walk or read a book or something, like your life has to be not going super well to get really up in arms about it
I 100% agree. By taking this approach, they are turning into the very thing they swore to destroy. Ok, so the devs say one thing but then backtrack. Does that hurt your gaming experience? Nope. Because you can choose to avoid it altogether. There is no choice in games like TLOU2, DA: Veilguard, Suicide Squad.... All the agenda pushing is in your face and you can't avoid it. There are plenty of games coming out that still need to be called out for the unbiased push of propaganda. But KCD2 isn't one of them. Just as the people that call everyone -ists and -phobes ultimately hurt their causes with making outlandish claims, these people are doing the same with the anti-woke movement. Their work, up to this point, has been valid, but this is a step too far. And if they don't real it in, they will see people walking away from the cause rather than supporting it.
Swing and a miss, UE. Don’t be critical of those who won’t support installing underage gay sex scenes onto their computers (regardless of whether or not the content gets triggered, because the content is illegal)
Ah, I see the Twitter brigade has found your video. Had to keep shifting the goalpost of the narrative, still haven't succeeded, so the next best thing is to start flame wars in your comments. I can't wait until all this "controversy" finally dies down.
The word "Woke" means absolutely nothing now
I've been playing for 24 hours but haven't touched the main mission yet. The sandbox so excited to explorer. Maybe i will play main story after got dlc
Brilliant idea!
This gives me vibes of spiking ammo and then leaving it behind for enemies to use, and when the enemy uses the ammo it just explodes and destroys their gun instead
People pretending to be concerned about the age of Hans when engaging in sex with other characters is hilarious, when he was doing so in the first game and no one gave a shit. But make it gay sex then suddenly people care about the character's age.
RIP any bot trying to rip off my channel, my regular content is just incoherent rambling anyway 😂
