Very happy to read this thread and cannot agree more. However, I sincerely wish that more game developers (and movie makers too while I'm at it) would also share the same thought as we do. To keep it historically accurate, and not use games as a propaganda vehicle with fiction and modern ideas added to it that didn't even exist in that time. I feel it's bad for the younger people to grow up with a, dare I say, "programmed" and false impression of things past. I stay away from politics or anything that smells of it. That's one reason I have come to enjoy simulations, or games set in a fantasy environment, being able to have freedom of choice and the option to play as "the bad guys", something extremely rare.
I've played many good games in my life and recently I got a new game about WW2 which had the events of the Omaha beach landing as it's first campaign. Now, I've seen this in movies and other games over and over. Used all the same equipment so many times that it's not fun anymore, even with all the technologically advanced graphics. The same dialogues ("Get to the shingllllle!"), heck even voices, seem to be repititive through them. This is, in my humble opinion, terribly boring. I couldn't find it in me to continue playing the game so I gave it to my nephew. That's all.
I may be totally wrong about this, but I assure you that I write it with a good and sincere intention. This might be another reason why people from USA and UK would not mind playing a great game that, if exposed to the politicians, might pose problems for the developers and/or the gaming industry. :rotfl:
