Spec Ops the Line was praised for being complicated and having something to say, and is largely fictional; Six Days in Fallujah is non-fiction about one of the most controversial battles in one of the most controversial wars in modern history and it has, allegedly, nothing to say.

Spec-Ops was specifically calling out the glorification of out-of- context violence and military service by the games industry. Possibly without even being aware of the 6 Days in Fallujah project at the time, which was exactly the kind of game it was criticizing. I think it might be possible to create a nuanced game about the Fallujah conflict, but nuance requires context. The politics around the Iraq war of the time and in the aftermath IS the context that allows for a nuanced examination of that battle from any perspective beyond "here gun, shoot target."

They killed anything trying to get out of there and anything trying to get in.

But all the same, Activision forced the player to shoot a CGI facsimile of Fidel Castro in the face. That’s not apolitical. It doesn’t matter if you love Castro or hate him, shooting him in the face is political. Yet, from what I’ve seen, most calls to “keep politics out of videogames” refers to things like: Female characters with personalities (or maybe just speaking roles) Brown people as non-enemies White people as enemies The mere presence of gay or trans characters (apparently, even gay villains are SJW propaganda)

He asked his manager if he knew this was going to happen and he said no, they told him yesterday on a phone call. He told him that the only reason he was even there was that they threatened to take his severance if he didn't stay and inform everyone else they were fired along with him. The entire chain of stores had boarded up and closed over night with no one working in them being informed until the DAY it happened.

Interestingly enough, if you actually read the interview in question, that's not what the director says at all. He says it's not about why the war started but what people on the ground did after the decision was made. The director claims that they they drew very heavily from interviews with and stories of soldiers who were involved in the battle (which is also his explanation for a lack of white phosphorus commentary - those soldiers weren't involved in artillery shell choices) and that about 10% of the game involves playing as an Iraqi civilian who is attempting to get his family to safety in the chaos. Everything I read in that interview tells me that the theme of the game is likely to be "urban warfare sucks for everyone involved" (with perhaps a "but it is sometimes necessary" added on), which can serve as both a political and a universal message. Don't get me wrong, the game could absolutely be a cringy disaster (I obviously haven't played it, nor has anyone criticizing it), and it might have been good for it to have a more direct grappling with the white phosphorus shells controversy, but it certainly doesn't sound to me like it is trying to do an ill-informed "AMERICA, HELL YEAH!" cash grab filled with arcade-like shooting gallery segments. I'm willing to give it a chance to tell the story it wants to tell before I criticize it.

Having actually read the whole interview, the idea seems to be that "Marines in 2004 didn't have a say in why they were there and didn't really care - they had a hard and dangerous job in front of them that they had sworn an oath to do, and here's how that went for them." You can have a perfectly valid and sincere artistic experience in that kind of narrow frame of reference. As an example, the films Dunkirk and 1917 are not remotely about why anyone is fighting in either World War, but rather about simulating for the audience the experience of being someone having to fight in it. I'm not saying that this game is going to be anywhere in the league of those two films (I obviously have not played it, nor has anyone else), but I think that at least is the theory that the developer is going for.

The game is not inherently political. The developer just wants to be a neutral party presenting you with facts. This is what happened, these parties were involved and this is what they did. Any and all conclusions are yours. I understand what they mean by "non-political" and why they say these things. Sure, every idiot knows war is bad and killing people is bad unless you're waging war on terrorists who themselves murder innocent civilians. That should go without saying and doesn't need to involve politics. I played shit tonne of games with guns and military, and that doesn't make them political. Not everything is black and white, but critical thinking seems to be utterly lost on most gamers these days.

The simple sprites required each unit to be designed with a very distinctive shape and idle animation, and to save animation budget only a handful of characters had unique sprites so you always knew which character was which class.With the non-combat-affecting portraits using full design to illustrate character, it leaves the battlefield sprites to be designed for gameplay first. Now if I stop playing for a month and come back to a game I have to read every character profile every turn to remember who the hell does what. Having elaborate JRPG designs is well and good for character beat,s but obnoxious on the battlefield.

That's what is known in the trade as a "false equivalence argument." 6 days in Fallujah is specifically about the Battle of Fallujah, in which 800 civilians died and the use of horrific methods of destruction, such as white phosphorous, by the US military is well-documented. It would be like a game coming out about the RAFs carpet bombing of Dresden, but refusing to show the actual targeting of civilian buildings because the devs felt the game "shouldn't be political." Whitewashing is the correct term for this, as is spineless cowardice.

It's why Spec Ops was a critical success but a commercial failure, and why games publishers are twitchy about making anything that might upset their core audience. Basically, if your target audience are a bunch of gung-ho idiots with no interest in anything other than being a Big White Man with a Big Black Gun, then any politics you put in the game have to pander to their preconceptions and preferences. It's why games like CoD, one of the most politically-charged series ever made, are so wildly successful, and why the fans of those franchises genuinely appear to believe that those games aren't political.

To his usual shilling I remember always asking "You realize most people in the world have shitty internet connections aswell as data caps right?" / "Isn't the idea that of exclusively cloud gaming dominating the industry kind of awful? What about people who actually want to own physical games or have their games installed on their devices?". He would always brush off these questions and gush about how impressive cloud gaming is. Personally, I have come to see Stadia as a case study for a kind of mindset I see a lot in tech nerds, which is that a big company will announce a product/service that is very impressive on the technical side but has a business model that makes it either too expensive or inacessible to the general public. That and said product also often is a shitty idea that the consumers it is being marketed towards neither want nor need. These tech nerds get so dazzled and overhyped by the technical specs and capabilities of the new product that they ignore the glaring red flags and label as "haters" anyone who points out the issues. When said products predictably fail they don't learn the lesson, they are already too busy getting overhyped about the next shitty idea for another overpriced piece of tech Google or Amazon are coming up with.

For all that's worth, Xenoblade 2 had no characters in the game and I think its good they are there now, being a proper nintendo game and all...

@@StrazdasLT Even if you take as read that most war crimes are the actions of individual bad actors, it it doesn't follow that they're not political. The act, in the moment, may be on the individual but a ton of stuff that leads up to it and a ton of stuff that happens afterwards must be considered at the institutional level. Was the individual properly vetted? Were they properly trained? If they did act alone and in direct contravention of their orders, were they properly punished? Was their sufficient transparency over what happened? And, yes, was their truly sufficient need for them ever to have been there in the first place? When you send troops into combat, you're responsible for all the outcomes of combat - not just the outcomes you intended - it's as simple as that. This isn't to say that leaders should be strung up or kicked out every time one of these incidents occurs. Leading a nation or commanding armed forces in wartime places a truly extraordinary burden of responsibility on a person's shoulders and it's an impossibility for it go perfectly. Politics doesn't need to about that, though. It doesn't need to be about gnashing your teeth and seeking to assign blame for the sake of assigning blame - but it absolutely does need to be about ensuring that you do better next time. That'll never happen if you allow your leaders simply to wash their hands of the situation and place the responsibility solely on the individual or, worse, pretend it never happened.

@@StrazdasLT This is an accurate summation but, to clarify my original point, while there's a difference between actions being taken for political reasons and actions having political ramifications, the matter is 'political' in either case. If your nation has signed up to international law under which certain acts are banned, it's the undeniable responsibility of the leaders of your nation to ensure that those banned acts are kept to a minimum. Again, it'll likely be impossible to prevent breaches on the parts of individual bad actors entirely but if you, as the leader of a nation, are seen either not to be doing enough to prevent them or not to be doing enough to punish them, you're on the hook for it both in the eyes of the international community and in the eyes of your electorate. That makes the issues a distinctly political one regardless of motives on the ground. The mere act of publicly figuring out whether leaders have done enough to prevent any breaches that do happen makes the issue an inherently political one even if the answer turns out to be, "yes." All that said, I appreciate we're talking somewhat at cross purposes, so if you're purely interested in the immediate motives for individual atrocities as they happen then granted - politics (more often than not) is the last thing on the perpetrators' minds.
