It's got nothing to do with the rights and wrongs of war itself but using it to milk money out of people and turning it into franchised games.

It was before you added the second sentence in the edit.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if you'd got that point from earlier or not, so I edited it in :-).

It's kind of difficult to get 'the point' when it's not actually been written in the post you're reading.

Lesson: Don't widen your argument unless you can back it up.

I'm not interested in your stupid remarks and thinking you know what you're talking about.

I can't be @rsed annoyed arguing about something as fundamental as whether or not the lives and deaths of innocent soldiers sent into battle should be glorified and the severe risk to their lives belittled by capitalist games companies such as EA etc. hoping to make a quick buck off of the climate of war we find ourselves in.

If you have a problem with that, go blow a goat, I don't care. Any teenager styled personal retort will be met with the dignified silence it deserves.

Yes we do need more WWII games that glorify war and death and smashed Nazis.
I'd buy a game called "Kill all Nazis" simply for the title - but when I get awesome goodness like in Call of Duty, Brothers in Arms, Hidden & Dangerous 2 and Allied Assault (from Normandy to the snow-levels only) then that's even better.

More. More GI slaughter games please.
