I did. Evil Russian ultranationalist terrorists who worked with an acting general from US secret service staged an act of terrorism in Moscow airport and used an american agent in their ranks to frame US for the terrorist act and start a new global between US and Russia with Russia shortly invading US and Europe to pay back for all the shit that happened. US general who worked with the terrorists was essentially an old time MAGA activist who couldn’t cope with the loss of his soldiers who invaded the fictional Middle Eastern country and got blasted by locals with a nuke in COD4:MW.
At least back in the day games tried to be SOMEWHAT controversial. Nowadays we get ehhhh… Like, Muricah blaming their own war crimes on Russians and stuff like that, you know?
Don’t forget that gaming went through a lot of growth throughout the 2000-s and only grew to be so big by 2010-s. About 2014 and 2015. That’s the time when previously small by overall standards studios like Infinity Ward and publishers like Activision skyrocketed from companies selling weird stuff to nerds to big buisness giant status. That is the time when all previous founding crew left Infinity Ward and they and other CoD series devs started to recieve… Uh… You know… Historical and military consultations from actual fucking Pentagon, former CIA administration etc. MW2019 is the most infamous example because devs actually admitted to recieving direct political and other guidance from US military. With obvious results.
