It’s funny (or sad) how many commenters at The Escapist responded to this with variations of “please don’t ruin my gaming fun with talk of politics.” These delicate flowers are missing Yahtzee’s point that games like Medal of Honor are already inherently political.

The fact that we Americans (fuck yeah) believe that you can depict war as glorious and patriotic without getting “political” is a symptom of our truncated political spectrum where both “left” and “right” are expected to be militaristic cheerleaders.

It’s great that a British-born Australian resident is out there reminding gamers that people in other countries have a different perspective on the United States’ nostalgia for “the good war.”
