Also, there apparently is a sizeable contingent of right-wingers who
have fallen in love with the game because the developers have a
history of misogyny and the game is 'not woke'. You know, the usual
Gamergate crowd. How true these accusations are, and whether this
group is numerous enough to make that much of an impact, I've no idea.
Still, I wouldn't be too surprised if there's a contingent of them
who, having more money than sense, are buying multiple copies just to
bolster the sales of a game that (they believe) champions their cause.

I find the whole anti-woke brigade rather tedious with their attitude that they somehow own the games industry so only their 'needs' should be catered to and that seems to include such highlights as a game is woke if women aren't portrayed as weak and don't have the breasts half hanging out.
The other part is it's the same crowd that bangs on about freedom of expression and being anti-cancel culture. What they actually mean is freedom of expression is only good if we agree with what you say and 'cancelling' anything we don't like is absolutely fine.
There is a flip side though, Kingdom Come:Deliverance II has had accusations of lack of diversity due to in particular the lack of non-white NPC's. It's a historical setting, that's one of its selling points. What do you expect?
