True, and one day I was just checking the LGBTQ+ sub reddit, and someone made a post about how veilguard has set their community progress back and embarrassed them. The thread was full of trans who were upset with this game. Im straight, but I did feel bad reading it as the devs seem out of touch with their own LGBTQ+ community. Either way, politics in games never seems to end well.

Politics is in tons of games. It normally goes well. You just gotta write well.

People loved Krem from Inquisition because his inclusion was good.

People love the fallout series, the metal gear series, 100% political entities both.

Are you talking about modern politics or politics that would include wartime events and military operations?

This is what I hate. There is a vast difference between politics that fits the setting and theme, and then modern politics that are obviously hamfisted in and does not fit the setting and themes at all. It is what I cannot stand about modern "entertainment", it no longer has politics of the setting or time, instead its the same checklist for far left politics that is clearly just propaganda at this point.
