Comment on Why People Don’t Catch The Politics In Their Favorite Games

Has anyone actually seen anyone actually complain about having politics in games

Yes. Under this post, too.

I even remember people complaining about re-releases that had disclaimers that the game has racially insensitive enemies.

People will complain about anything.

  Gotta look for the downvoted ones, lol
  
  One example…
  
  People play games for escapism, not to be reminded of politics. Not every story needs deep political roots, people just want to have fun and forget about real world bullshit.
