    We have so many games with the same concept, but yet doing it against Israel is a big no no.

    Fuck off already Israel.

    Is literally nobody going to mention the fact the title of this post says “on October 7th” as if the game is about Oct 7th when it infact was released in 2022. The posters a liar, the article is a liar both to make this seem worse than it is.

    its creator, a Brazilian man named Nidal Nijm

    OH MY GOD IT HAD TO BE A FUCKING BRAZILIAN!!! 😆😆😆😆

    Also, as many on the thread pointed out, so did the creator:

    Nijm has a point about the violence normalized in the video game industry; many of the most famous, lauded and widely-played video games feature graphic violence, often directed against Arab enemies. Call of Duty has several installments featuring Arab militant enemies, and it’s the entire plot of games like Six Days in Fallujah.

    I bet the creator of this lazy asset flip is thrilled about this publicity.

    Edit: for some reason replies think I’m being sarcastic.

    From the headline, I was ready to read about shooting civilians and bombing waterworks, schools and fucking hospitals. What a yawnfest bull-shit pile of a story.

    “all violence inflicted on Palestine by Israel is self defense” is only true on opposite day and is only as true as the corollary because turnabout is fair play.
