I saw the trailer on the Xbox showcase today and holy shit is it blatant unfiltered propaganda. They have a whole extraction game mode that takes place on the DMZ and if I understand it correctly it is just Tarkov but you fulfill the Amerikkkan power fantasy of killing DPRK citizens, since doing a genocide on them was not enough.

The empire really doesn’t care anymore and will just pump out the most blatant propaganda possible and no one will bat an eye.

    Yeah, I haven’t seen a single article talking about how absolutely fucked it is

    Homefront: The Revolution at least had the courtesy to be ugly, janky and overall off-putting

      The real goal of gamergate was a wild success, get the chuds screaming about wokeness so loudly that everyone else is too distracted by the culture war to have any real discussion about politics in video games

        If i ever get the chance to make a video game, I will make those chuds pay

        With money for the game, yes, but also assaulting them with radical left-wing messages

        Yeah extremely on point. There’s is basically no meaningful discussion about videogames as a whole and every time it is tried it is decried as completely wrong and useless. This is a medium that have incredible potential for actual political discussion and education, but gamergate basically buried it all before it was even born.
