    Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. As we always had political games. Like with the Metal Gear series or Call of Duty series or Splinter Cell series among so many others. Like GTA 4 (2008) as an example which follows the story of an illegal immigrant from russia who arrives in liberty city aka new york.

    I suppose I should elaborate because I wasn't commenting on the game narrative itself being political, rather commenting on people unable to separate their political stance from following a game they enjoy on a social media platform that they can simply ignore the politics from be it Twitter or Skyblue.

    One of the reasons that speaks for bluesky and makes it in my eyes a better platform than twitter. I can create my own bubble of stuff I want to see and like. Rather than being shoved politics down my throat especially far right biased ones. "Don't show me that again" doesn't work because the Reichest man of the world needs to feed you his agenda.

    On Bsky I haven't encountered politics at all.
