Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has received two nominations in this year's Gayming Awards celebrating queer culture in games, with the whole RPG up for "fan favorite" and companion Sir Hans Capon in the running for best LGBTQ+ character. This news comes as a delight to Daniel Vávra, co-founder of developer Warhorse Studios, who seems oddly insistent that Kingdom Come's approach to gay romance is somehow correct or superior compared to games and stories "rightfully called 'woke' these days."
In a lengthy Twitter post, Vávra says he's "really proud" that the Gayming Awards nominated Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for elements that he personally "had to convince others to do" within the studio. Yet, simultaneously, he criticizes other, unspecified games for all the things he says Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn't do, like "shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them".
