There have been efforts to stop this game from being released for the last twelve years, since the first time they tried to release it in 2009. The difference is, now the main criticism is that it's disrespectful to the Iraqi civilians and fighters, whereas the first time around, the main criticism was that it was disrespectful to the American soldiers. Back then, the complaints came mostly from the right, because 'muh patriotism'. Now they come from the left, because wokeness.
