> If they produced a game that was IDF killing Palestinians [bla bla ... usual double standards crap]

From what I read, this is a game about Palestinian resistance killing IDF terrorists, not Israelis or Jews. Besides how many games are there where you kill "Ruskis" "Gooks" or "Arabs" and no one (well except an insignificant few) blinks an eye?

>Both are fucking tasteless and morally questionable.

A game has to be fun, not tasteful or moral. But I doubt that the gameplay is good. Political people making a statement suck at producing good art.

Show me a fun game you could make out of Holocaust and I'll be impressed. You can't look at a game purely from mechanics perspective. Nazi flag is just red, white and black in an intricate order but it produces an emotional response in people. You can deconstruct it at some level, but in the end you're just hopping over trip-wires.

Both a survival horror could be set in camp - survive for as long as possible/eventually escape.

And you can make a pretty decent simulation strategy of the V2 project and the stuff that was happening in Siemens, Krupp factories.

The youngest person that can claim to have first hand memories of the nazi flag is what 85? If you are under 60 and the nazi flag produces emotional response in you, it is a good question to ask why?

Hell the hammer and sickle were way worse than the swastika in every objective measure. It is only 30 years since they have been gone and people are starting to get indifferent to them

> Hell the hammer and sickle were way worse than the swastika in every objective measure

You are a moron

To kill Iraqi soldiers, not murder civilians.

The proper analogy to this would be if in COD you played a Blackwater operator during the Nisour Square massacre.

Completely untrue.

>In this game, the player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly, only soldiers.

I didn’t check the game but killing people isn’t all equal, do you kill civilians in Black Ops 6, and do you kill civilians in the banned game? The better comparison would be COD MW2 (with the famous „no Russian“ mission), which was controversial for exactly this reason.

According to Israel's own figures 393 of the 1139 killed on October 7 were active duty military, so it's certainly possible to construct a game mission around it which does not involve actively hunting down civilians.

>which was controversial for exactly this reason

Only among stupid people. Most gamers yawned in boredom.

@fakedang I saw your comment here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41373440 If you ever write up anything about this, would love to read it. For my own interest and also trying to inform a 19 year old family friend about the realities of HR that she is studying at college right now. Want her to realize some of it will be automated away (or to do it herself) Didn't see contact in your profile, so random comment here!
