[quote]Video games almost always have political aspects to them.[/quote] That is just some folk's interpretation of a game. Most companies know not to bring politics into videogames. Because they know that rubbish won't sell.

  • Bruh come on. Games like fallout and mass effect have blatant political viewpoints. Do you think political messages are only "Vote for this candidate" and who's running for president?

    Politics just simply come with humans. But it's one thing putting political systems/stories in a game, and another thing plastering current actual real world politics all over it with a clear agenda. Of course every game that has any sort of serious story is going to involve politics. But Fallout and Mass Effect absolutely do not discuss or include any [b]current[/b] politics that might divide people, they have a made up system and troubles of their own, to explain and tell a story. You cannot tell me that Mass Effect and Fallout was filled with the at-the-time political issues and themes when they were developed. Sure there might be [i]parodies[/i] of different political issues or events, but they sure as hell don't try to unironically force actual politics down your throat. (Except for that one time Manveer Heir had a say in anything in Andromeda.) It's one thing Bungie is virtue signaling left and right, but the fact that they are clearly cherrypicking what, who, and when they "support", is what's bullshit. They are always shouting "Inclusivity" but barely include anybody if it doesn't fit their narrative. If they would "support" everyone (within a rational limit/bracket), then I'd be like, aight, but the way they are doing it now, -blam!- 'em.
