And here’s an article from IGN from over 12 years ago that’s just as valid a read:https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/04/28/editorial-the-case-for-six-days-in-fallujah …

I think the vast majority of the points made in this, as you said, 12-year-old article have been refuted handily by what we've learned about Fallujah since, what the folks in my article said, and the considerably greater amount of info we have about what the game is now in 2021.

Fair points. Then allow me to ask you what are your opinions on the current furor from other game developers about this game, such as: -Do you believe this game should be censored/banned (even via government intervention)? (1/?)

-Do you think, as some developers think, that this will somehow lead to real world racism and violence against Iraqis? -Do you think that referring to the devs of this game as “monsters” is hyperbolic or justified? (2/?)

If you do not wish to answer these, then that is fine as I know they are hot button issues. I merely ask for my own curiosity. (3/3)

1) no, I don't believe in actual censorship, which is what you're describing 2) i think we've been seeing actual racism and violence against Iraqis for years. i don't know what will come of this game but it sure doesn't look like it's going to make the problem better

3) i would not personally use that language, but i'm a white person who has never had to deal with these issues on a personal level, so it's really not my place to say anything to or about someone who has and who feels that way.

a point to add to 1) i do, however, think that creators should make responsible, ethical creative decisions on their own, as well as investors/businesses etc. make intelligent, moral, empathetic choices about what to fund/support
