Sensitivity toward the families... I wonder how far a person could take this line of thinking. I'm not denying that the war was terrible, I have no objections to that. The suffering is very real. But since that is the case, why are we stopping with just this particular war? Why are World War II FPS allowed onto the market and in such a large quantity? Or for any war within the past one hundred years, really.
A person can say that enough time has elapsed since then... but for the people who fought and/or lost during any of those wars, time doesn't change much. That's what I would think, anyway.
Even if it isn't made into a game, inevitably war is used as a basis for some other form of entertainment. And not all of it brings a portrayal ideal to the soldiers and their families. Should this not be allowed, either? This isn't a rhetorical question.
I don't think anyone with even an ounce of sympathy would ever say, "Ha, I totally played that one game! I got this war thing in the bag, yo," or something equally absurd. People are normally pretty decent, really. Or is that statement so untrue that we can't let them play a game lest they make a mockery out of its basis?
