We have so many games with the same concept, but yet doing it against Israel is a big no no.

Fuck off already Israel.

Is literally nobody going to mention the fact the title of this post says "on October 7th" as if the game is about Oct 7th when it infact was released in 2022. The posters a liar, the article is a liar both to make this seem worse than it is.

This past November, the game released an update called “Operation al-Aqsa Flood,” in which the fighters paraglide into an IDF military base.

So every game featuring the M16 is "about" every event ever involving an M16. Giga brained.

I was just sharing where in the article it said even though the game came out in 2022, the update regarding the 10/7 attack released earlier this year.

its creator, a Brazilian man named Nidal Nijm

OH MY GOD IT HAD TO BE A FUCKING BRAZILIAN!!! 😆😆😆😆

Also, as many on the thread pointed out, so did the creator:

Nijm has a point about the violence normalized in the video game industry; many of the most famous, lauded and widely-played video games feature graphic violence, often directed against Arab enemies. Call of Duty has several installments featuring Arab militant enemies, and it’s the entire plot of games like Six Days in Fallujah.

Call of Duty for brown people. Dunno what's the fuss.

The brown soldier can't shoot the white soldier that is doing a terrorism!!!

I bet the creator of this lazy asset flip is thrilled about this publicity.

Edit: for some reason replies think I'm being sarcastic.

That he has more eyes on the terror of the IDF? Sure. He's a Palestinian victim of the US and Israel.

[–] murmelade@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

It's a very clear political statement. Would you prefer if it had a Season Pass and cosmetics shop to meet modern gaming standards?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It is made by one (1) Palestinian so yes.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From the headline, I was ready to read about shooting civilians and bombing waterworks, schools and fucking hospitals. What a yawnfest bull-shit pile of a story.

No, that would be a game where you play as Israel.

If only it wasn't asset flip jank

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"all violence inflicted on Palestine by Israel is self defense" is only true on opposite day and is only as true as the corollary because turnabout is fair play.

[–] ochi_chernye@startrek.website 4 points 1 week ago

Never occurred to me before, but a legally recognized opposite day would be like the purge.
