My impression is that a lot of the “weird” people making video games weren’t actually writing any software, doing computer graphics, ray-tracing, things like that.
They were figuring out how to sneak political, ideological, and lifestyle messaging into video games, in ways designed to normalize aberrant and dangerous behaviors, that wouldn’t be detected by parents or other guardians.
Example: Sweet Baby Inc.
Wokies forced themselves into ham fisting "the message" into games and making trash entertainment.
