If you think video game shouldn't be political, then you haven't been paying attention while you play Battlefield.

@grumpygamer gotta love the "why did you have to make it political?!" in reference to... Anything.

Heck, back in school, my textbook for law&economy literally started with the sentence "mankind is a political animal"

@grumpygamer Ah yes, now to play my favourite non-political games that are about Americans shooting the bad guys

@grumpygamer usually "not-political" people are 200% political, just don't like the specific take ;)

@grumpygamer

When someone says they want something "apolitical," they usually mean that they want something that shares their own politics.

@grumpygamer One of my many favorite adventure games is A Mind Forever Voyaging. If that's what happens when you mix politics with video games I want more of it, not less.

@grumpygamer if anything, video games should be much more political than they are. But I guess big money doesn't like that. And I bet big arab money and big china money likes it even less. No more punching nazis, I guess. :(
