re: Going Woke - Going to remove tomb raiding from Tomb Raider

The first 3 games of the reboot covered this really, and those started back in 2013 (pre-woke). Reboot Lara was not a collector of things, she was already becoming a seeker of truth. The tombs did nothing more than give her extra abilities, the only thing close was gathering items to make the ancient bow.

They basically already established this and actually did a good job of it. The games showed her being very respectful of the cultures they interacted with.

So why state this now, since they were already doing it? They missed their chance to get "WOKE" credit . These people are pathetic sometimes, trying to pander to people that will not even play their game.

If you look at the full context in the screenshot I posted, they acknowledge that's what they were doing in the reboots. As for "why now", this wasn't some kind of press release. This is a character snippet from the booklet that comes with the TR tabletop game that got posted as some grand statement of change for the series.
