Clearly you know nothing about Mass Effect. You could always play as a female protagonist. People loved it. You could even make her black if you desired. Again, people loved it. That's not what broke it
Your dumb. Come back when you actually educate yourself on matters you argue about..
I'll admit, Mass Effect isn't a franchise I've gotten into, but are you seriously trying to pin it on being 'woke?' From all I've heard, ME:A failed because of a slew of technical issues and a lacklustre plot, none of which have anything to do with, well, anything. Plus one thing I am familiar with when it comes to ME is BioWare, and the fact it was bought by EA who've made a habit of buying up decent developers and then running them into the ground, which... yeah, I think you'll find that's what's happening.
Checking out BioWare releases:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BioWare_video_gamesStarting 2007, where EA took over, you have a promising start. Dragon Age Origins, early Mass Effect... for a few years. There was a little bit of controversy about DA's DLC but nothing major yet. Mass Effect 2 in 2010, then Dragon Age 2 which was hit by a huge swathe of dislike for rushed development and reused maps and poorly paced story (and hilariously glitchy final stretch, speaking from experience), but hey, it's just one game. Then you hit 2012, ME3 comes out, got hit with some criticism for the lacking finale and had developers scrabbling to react.
Then two games that were cancelled in development, then the smash hit success of Dragon Age Inquisition, which itself does double duty to point out the issues with your arguments. On one hand, two gay party members and one trans supporting character makes it pretty 'woke' in my book, as clunky as the dialogue sometimes was, but on the other there's no getting around the fact the latter half of the game felt pretty rushed. And all of that required having developers work themselves to exhaustion to the point that some even wanted the game to fail just so they'd be free of the damn thing, all of which was pretty well documented. Then you have one more cancelled game, and then that's when you reach 2017 and Mass Effect: Andromeda! With a burnt out studio, some developers off after nervous breakdowns, after a string of cancelled releases and only one real success in the last five years, with the notoriously greedy EA breathing down their necks. And the next release was Anthem which, sure, not my thing so I haven't played it, but I know most people seem to hate it.
But, sure, it was the sjws that ruined ME:A.
