I bet he's banking on marketing the games as "anti-woke" and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his "vision" to life.

Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.

Art is inherently political.

For example, do you think Gordon Freeman would be a Trump voter?

Or the entire Bioshock franchise? That entire story is a big political message.
