Every game has some fairly deep political undertones. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game, but it remains. Have you ever actually thought about the political implications from a call of duty campaign? It’s intensely political. But that doesn’t stop it from being the best selling fps every year.
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Just because people are having fun calling out the tagline (or other memorable aspect) of a game doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t grasped the game’s political undertones. That’s why it’s a bit unfair to assume the politics just flew over their heads just because they’re not spending 24/7 talking about nothing but the politics of the game. People are allowed to have fun sometimes too lol.
The example with Call of Duty is especially apt though, with the fans of that franchise blatantly lying to themselves about whether or not it’s a “political game”. Even the devs are getting in on it. There’s a video I watched once that goes into detail about Infinity Ward promoting the false image of their games being “unpolitical”. It’s a great video, I’d recommend giving it a watch.
and 99.90% of the children playing cod completely miss every political point it makes lol the campaign achievements for the first mission show that I’ve half the game owners never even launch the campaign
