I'd say so. I mean, well, it's like having a game about the Eastern Front in WWII with the Soviets on one side and the Hungarians and Italians on the other end, with the Germans as DLC. It may make a killing in Hungary and Italy, but it's bound to give a completely deformed version of the truth to anyone who doesn't known much about the original events.
- vacri 10y agoIf such a game was made by a Hungarian team, why would that be distasteful? It's pretty common for people to be primarily concerned by what happened with their own nation in history. Look in the past week or two - the French have been commemorating Verdun, which was their WWI low point, but barely know about the Somme, which not only was the UK's low point, but also had half as many French casualties as at Verdun. Is it distasteful for the French to not commemorate the Somme? After all, the UK was France's major ally in that war, sending hundreds of thousands of it's youth to die for French soil. Of course it isn't distasteful - the French national story is of Verdun, and they're not being distasteful by not ensuring all other major players get the same billing as they do in their own story.
