I guess I’m just curious about what you thought was so “sanctimoniously woke” about it. I haven’t played (or previously read anything about) Battlefield V myself, and it kinda felt like this post was written with the expectation that readers would already have some familiarity with the content of the game.

My position is that when videogames try to portray history they should stick to some semblante of historical accuracy. When they dont, then they shouldn’t mask the truth to fit their ideologies, be it woke or non woke. Thanks for your comment, Cheers!

Is your position that it’s bad for a historical videogame to try to be “woke,” or that they didn’t try hard enough?
