The latest game to have Sweet Baby Inc. consult on it, Unknown 9: Awakening, performed worse than Concord on its release date only managing to garner a peak concurrent player base of just 169 players.
As we know, Sweet Baby Inc. it is a consultancy that introduces DEI policies in many video games, which has caused many losses for several companies that have opted for these forced woke policies.
SteamDB data shows that the game hit an all-time peak of just 169 concurrent players around 8:00 PM ET on October 17th. That is far worse than Concord. If you recall, Concord hit a peak concurrent of 697 players when it released. Unknown 9: Awakening’s peak is 75% less than Concord!

These numbers are not at all surprising. Craig Skistimas aka Stuttering Craig noted that his retail insider informed him that pre-orders for the game were extraordinarily low.
He shared, “My retail insider who has access to the 800+ big box stores pre-order numbers tell me that Unknown 9 Awakening had a TOTAL of 46 pre-orders… but 12 were cancelled. So actually there were only 34.”
Not only are gamers not playing the game, but those who did play it are not impressed at all as the game has “Mostly Negative” reviews on Steam.
Hounds on Steam wrote, “I didn’t even know this game was a thing and honestly it should have stayed that way. The faces are clunky, the enemies just stiff up and fall like figurines when defeated.”
He continued, “Ran okay but during transitions game almost blew itself up. Honestly the game feels and looks like its mid development with no polish should of cooked for at least another year save your money this sucks.”
Raygne also shared, “This is a mess. Combat is dated. Animations are strange in spots. As usual, they hired an attractive model for the face then butchered her because being pretty is wrong now. The eyes were dead like a shark. They didn’t even look in the right direction during scenes.”
“I could write a long review explaining everything but I won’t waste my time. It’s already failing but if you need one main cause, I will say this: Sweet Baby Inc was involved,” he added.
