It&#x27;s hard to think of anything more vapid (not to mention insulting to American Indians and African-Americans) than a game about American &quot;colonization&quot; that lets users ignore the roles and effects of two of the worst genocides ever inflicted by any existing or nascent &quot;civilization.&quot;<p>Here are a couple of other equally-vapid new-game ideas for Sid Meier and his ilk:<p>-&quot;Nazi Military Contractors,&quot; in which the &quot;winner&quot; sells the most supplies to the Third Reich.  (Jewish extermination?  Nothing to see here...&quot;)<p>-&quot;Palestinian Undertaker&quot; in which funeral directors compete to direct the most funerals.<p>No doubt Meier can sanitize these scenarios sufficiently to meet his stated goal:<p>&quot;One of the things we really try to avoid our games is this kind of this choice would be the right thing to do, but this choice is gonna help me win the game’ put the players in those kind of moral dilemmas. That&#x27;s not what our games are about.  We want you to feel good about yourself when you finish the game.&quot; *<p>RPGs like this are the ultimate in mental masturbation.  Which probably explains their popularity with emotional adolescents.<p>*-from
