I didn't think that this was too political, but please move this to P&N if I'm incorrect.

Cliffnotes:

Gretchen Carlson fails to sensationalize and a story against vidjo games.

Already discussed in PCG, but I'm not sure why the fuss over this game, when Kuma War has been around for years.

That woman was retarded.

like the game's going to accurately represent the faces of EVERY foot soldier...

I didn't watch the video but I'm guessing the media is trying to suggest the game trivializes the war for joystick-wielding violence-junkies while failing to realize that there are hundreds of games on other conflicts?

The Wikipedia page for the game doesn't suggest any 'questionable' content (like soldiers inviting locals for some hot coffee to boost hitpoints or shit like that). What's the fuss about?

that sounds like more fun.

I'm not sure either, but I guess they're probably trying to use the argument that the distinction is that it's a conflict still ongoing? Either way, though, still not the first game to do it.

they found one idiot that is against the game. so they ran with it thinking more people would have issues with it. guess what? nobody did.

all it did is give the game maker some free publicity.
