“It presents a situation as just simply being a PR exercise orchestrated to divert from other issues.”

That presumes malicious intent and makes no sense at all.

Look, I see where people are coming from here, and there’s a reason I don’t play games (TT or on PC) that are set in the present time. But going off about a game not depicting something as it is but putting their fantastic spin on it is pointing the wrong guns on the wrong target. Bring that up with media reps. Maybe they can squeeze something in between their spouting off about “orange man bad”. Write a letter to your representative. Put that energy towards something that can yield actual real results instead of getting some poor sobs fired for not using the right words.

Getting people fired for something benign like this is wrong on so many levels, it’s not even funny. I also don’t care who does it. Imagine playing “Secret Hitler” or however that was called with people like this. Games don’t have a mandate to teach current world politics or make propaganda, they are played for escapism.
