Baldur's Gate 3 Has Made $1.2 Billion, But It's Not The Highest Earning GOTY Winner

We always get comments that say 'go woke, go broke' when we cover a game with LGBTQ+ characters or people of color, like someone's pulled a cord on the back of a toy designed to churn out absurd catchphrases, but games like Baldur's Gate 3 really shine a light on how silly that idea is. With a diverse, queer cast of characters, and an entire act centering on the sapphic love story of Dame Aylin and Isobel, the game is endowed with LGBTQ+ themes, commentary on xenophobia and fascism, and questlines that delve headfirst into religious fundamentalism and bodily autonomy.
