My advice is to ignore the advice of people who scaremonger about the gaming community and the industry. Many haven't been in the gaming space long and don't fully understand the people or the games in it. In truth, the gaming space and conservatives could truly be allies in a mutual fight against the influence of radical leftism. //

Long term gamer, and just as long term Conservative. Games, like any medium, has it's good and bad messages, it also is a very young medium and that means it also has its edgy and experimental side still in tact.
...
Further, because of the mature of the medium it lends itself strongly to games that celebrate more masculine virtues. They have yet to make a compelling and fun video game that pushes Woke morality, because Woke morality does not lend itself to a strong gameplay loop. Foremost is this: Within the Woke worldview oppression innately disadvantages people and the only way to overcome it is by outside forces from the individual fixing. Meanwhile no video games are all about player agency, and the impact the player, as an individual, can have on the world. Games where the player has no agency and can do nothing to effect their own outcome are not enjoyable. Thus, games are inherently, structurally conservative, which is why the Woke progressives have spent so much time and effort to try and force propaganda into them, because they cannot overcome that base, innate factor. //

Very well stated.

Just like life. Woke makes you depressed. //

Reading well written history is great. Watching well done media on the subject might be okay. But playing a proper historical computer game is another level of learning.
Heck, XKCD #1356 says it all:
