Another lacking in self-awareness thread: "Lack of history based video games".

Choice quote:

Literally enough source material for decades of games with interesting social-political landscapes together with rich cultures and in many cases even great architecture. But somehow we are basically getting none of it. Between occasional releases that tackle on of the historical eras we get tons of middle age fantasies for example

Because dude, the last time there was a truly historically accurate game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, your fellow bro's and trans-sisters on ResetEra freaked out and threw a shit-fit there wasn't a single black character in a country that was known to be entirely white during that time period.

If there was a historically accurate Viking game, Era would have a panic attack that there aren't any black vikings.

If there was a historically accurate feudal Japan game, Era would meltdown that there aren't any black samurai's and ninja's.

If there was historically accurate ancient Indian game, Era would smash their keyboards that Vishnu doesn't have an afro.

And so we end up with games like God of War: Ragnarok, where black characters are ridiculously added to tick diversity boxes and stop potential accusations of racism.

Being fair, with God Of War you can excuse it because is outright fantasy. Also, seems the Greeks don’t give a shit enough to care about Kratos being a white face character.  (not that I care, because his actor is awesome… but is funny how race obsessed BCT likes to consider him black as they consider black an asexual green Alien with a turban).
