    in a hundred years they will make a survival horror game about Covid where Donald Trump is a boss fight…

    I know we don’t really do Hitler boss fights, but that’s only because his likeness is banned in Germany, they’re not doing that to Trump in America.

    WW2 movies, comic books, and TV shows were a staple of 1960s media.

    The Greatest Generation watched the Boomers playing D-Day all the time.

    Huh.

    I just realized I’ve killed thousands of digital Nazis, but I’ve never liberated a digital concentration camp.

    Maybe that’s what g*mers needed to see.

      This is one of many reasons “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” is required gaming. One of the stages in the game is a concentration camp, you’re playing as the Nazi doctor who tortures people with unethical experiments. Your goal to win the stage is to realize the horrors of what you’ve done, accept your role in it, try to make amends, and ultimately agree to die as there is no apology for what you’ve done.

      And yes, we do see mass graves and one of your first tasks is choosing to either sever a child’s spine or cancel the procedure. There is no gorey gruesome over the top scene, you just choose to do it, you lose “Spiritual Health”, and the child complains he cannot walk or feel his legs later whilst the game comments that the surgery had no purpose outside of mutilating the patient.

      You can torture them further and learn nothing, but that’s how you lose… And again, there are no scenes of you gibbing jewish prisoners like they’re doom enemies. Getting to kill people in horrible ways is a reward in games, here, you get none of your “blood porn”, just the horrors of war.

      If this doesn’t convince you “Holocaust = Bad”, you’re probably a Nazi.
