A video game depicting mercenaries storming Venezuela, which has been criticized in the oil-rich South American country as a blueprint for an invasion, will be released by a U.S. company this weekend.
The release is likely to anger allies of President Hugo Chavez, a Washington foe, who has in the past threatened to cut off oil exports to the United States.
In 2006, when the game was first announced, lawmakers from Chavez’s coalition called it an example of a U.S. government-inspired propaganda campaign against Chavez that could even help lay the psychological groundwork for an actual invasion.
“All the controversy around this is kind of comical,” Electronic Arts spokesman Jeff Brown said. “At the end of the day you have to remind yourself it’s a damned video game.”

Some foreshadowing in an article about a video game from 12 years ago that I find interesting:

"Hey its just entertainment bro, just for fun bro, its just so you can relax while killing official enemies of the US (TM) bro"
Also we greatly appreciate the funding and development assistance we got from the pentagon.
I knew what game it would be before clicking the link. To be fair, if I was Venezuela I would also be upset at being in such a shitty, shitty sequel.
