I don’t wanted to make political statements here, i don’t like to talk about politics, yet we gotta understand that children plays fast paced shooter games even if those games age rating is +17 and believe me, they’re learning some history there and gaming in this era is a very strong tool to politicize people, in this case, kids. Imagine a kid calling an African American that word which is censored here, it’s starting with na, because he saw black German soldiers in BF, i can see that happening.
Other than that, in development conferences teachers stating they’re educating their students towards making their games political. That’s why most of the gamers doesn’t want politics in their games because gaming supposed to be a thing to do when you wanna escape reality for an hour, yet as we seen in the last E3, games becomes a political statement instead of just having fun. I’m already defending gender equality in real world why would they had to put this political statement on my sight in movies, in tv series, in games, basically in everything, it’s frustrating dude, we know that women are strong, we know that they’re our equal, stop forcing them into the scenario like that, it doesn’t work, it has to be natural.
What i’m trying to say here if you’re trying to create a different universe where British women made it to frontlines of WW2, you should be clear about that this game you created is a fantasy game in a different universe. DICE could’ve dodged this whole controversy for just stating that, instead they’re calling people uneducated, i’m almost beginning to think education is a bad thing when i look at those devs or managers saying stuff like that. (BTW i have a bachelor degree on Journalism)
And a reminder, history isn’t something you learn in college unless you choose a degree about history, if you don’t, you basically gotta educate yourself cause you know, high school education isn’t enough to cover all aspects of history. At least it’s working like that in my country, don’t know much thing about American Colleges.
