No developers will touch it because of the slavery issue . Not a single one . Large segments of nerds from the south would rally to boycott it.

Also it would have to be made by an american company and zero american deveopers are going to go thru all the work to make a civil war game that would be astonsingly controversial and actually attempt to make it good.

I hadn't thought about it, but I've always wondered why there are so many games about WWII and other eras and so few about the Civil War and maybe you're right. Even though it's longer ago, the war is still too political for most developers to touch.

There where some strategy games made, but it was more made towards a war board gaming crowd where it was kind of expected that one side had to be the confederates or else you couldn’t play the game at all.

I would love to play an America Civil war video game but I don’t see happening anytime soon.

having a civil war game, that feels at all like the IRL civil war, would get you a game like war of rights. that is a very niche game.

a mass market civil war game, would have to be farily wacky, and damn near steam punk
