While I agree that this entire campaign is the usual cancel culture bullshit, I really can't bring myself to defend this game either.<br><br>Not because it 'glorifies violence or tragedy' or any of the other dumb claims about gaming in general but because, if we are to believe its own developers, it's blatant historical revisionism that recasts the US soldiers as courageous young men facing terrible adversity in what in reality was a pointless revenge assault for a mistake of their own making that included multiple war crimes. <br><br>Yes, they may have consultants and shit and claim not to get political... but the dev team also stated explicitly that while they aim to avoid glorifying war, they will avoid showing anything genuinely terrible that the US or Coalition did too because 'it's not the story we want to tell'. Make of that what you will for a 'historical' narrative - but in my opinion glossing over the worst things 'your' side did really can't be called any kind of unbiased. <br><br>It was a great opportunity to examine the already evident pointlessness of the entire conflict and how such an enormous mistake happened, but instead they chose, to put it crudely, to jack off the Pentagon while pretending to aspire to historical accuracy. Which is understandable considering the very real support they extend to anyone furthering pro-US narratives, but disappointing nonetheless. <br><br>You won't hear me calling to cancel it, but I ain't buying either. Which is how I think it should be - vote with your wallets, not your outrage.
