Well, he quoted Black Ops 6, where you play an American going to Iraq to kill Iraqis...

  Yeah I’m not queuing up to buy that either. What happened to killing demons on Phobos?

  I didn’t check the game but killing people isn’t all equal, do you kill civilians in Black Ops 6, and do you kill civilians in the banned game? The better comparison would be COD MW2 (with the famous „no Russian“ mission), which was controversial for exactly this reason.

    >which was controversial for exactly this reason Only among stupid people. Most gamers yawned in boredom.

    According to Israel's own figures 393 of the 1139 killed on October 7 were active duty military, so it's certainly possible to construct a game mission around it which does not involve actively hunting down civilians.

  To kill Iraqi soldiers, not murder civilians. The proper analogy to this would be if in COD you played a Blackwater operator during the Nisour Square massacre.

    Completely untrue. >In this game, the player does not shoot Israeli civilians, women, children, elderly, only soldiers.

  @fakedang I saw your comment here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41373440 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41373440 If you ever write up anything about this, would love to read it. For my own interest and also trying to inform a 19 year old family friend about the realities of HR that she is studying at college right now. Want her to realize some of it will be automated away (or to do it herself) Didn't see contact in your profile, so random comment here!
