For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.

      God that game disappointed the fuck out of me. It was the last AAA game I bought close to launch. Retro gaming is my bag. Even got a win95 emulator so I can play ye Olde 16 bit titles :party-cat:

          And they draped them in red flags, too. It was so on the nose classic "the terror was bad because of course violence is bad" while the player character uses violence as the solution every time. Good soundtrack though.

            Speaking of "the terror is bad because violence is bad", is basically the nessage of AC Unity. Massively ironic for a series about how its totally cool to assassinate people lol

              The first Assassin's Creed game was so pretty and you got to kill Knight's Templar. It's tragic how it turned out.

      I like it because it's a white Supremacist slaughter sim

      I dislike it because it implies that a deeply flawed uprising somehow wasn't any better than the status quo
