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.

    Also Detroit become human from the same guy. Those games are fucking infuriating if you’re coming at them from anything but the lib lens

    I will never forget this game for being basically "android genocide" the game and them somehow not making Markus create a unique piece of art since he was raised by a fucking artist, and instead sing a song like a coke commercial lol 6/10 thanks David Cage

      “android genocide” the game

      The Hillary Clinton stand in made more sense than David Cage. When you compare the android deactivation centers to the Holocaust, she takes offense to it and says it's insulting because the robots are not humans, which I mean, yeah lol. But like, even if you do agree that it's as evil as the holocaust, the game still doesn't take it as seriously because it has a fight sequence at the 'concentration camp' (factory) where the Connor clone fights the real Connor and Mr. Krabs is forced to shoot the fake one. Just cartoonish shit in a setting where it's supposed to be super duper serious lol
