Its creator argued that the game is no different from numerous games that allow users to kill Arabs

We have so many games with the same concept, but yet doing it against Israel is a big no no.

Fuck off already Israel.

Is literally nobody going to mention the fact the title of this post says “on October 7th” as if the game is about Oct 7th when it infact was released in 2022. The posters a liar, the article is a liar both to make this seem worse than it is.

This past November, the game released an update called “Operation al-Aqsa Flood,” in which the fighters paraglide into an IDF military base.

So every game featuring the M16 is “about” every event ever involving an M16. Giga brained.

I was just sharing where in the article it said even though the game came out in 2022, the update regarding the 10/7 attack released earlier this year.

its creator, a Brazilian man named Nidal Nijm

OH MY GOD IT HAD TO BE A FUCKING BRAZILIAN!!! 😆😆😆😆

Also, as many on the thread pointed out, so did the creator:

Nijm has a point about the violence normalized in the video game industry; many of the most famous, lauded and widely-played video games feature graphic violence, often directed against Arab enemies. Call of Duty has several installments featuring Arab militant enemies, and it’s the entire plot of games like Six Days in Fallujah.

I bet the creator of this lazy asset flip is thrilled about this publicity.

Edit: for some reason replies think I’m being sarcastic.

That he has more eyes on the terror of the IDF? Sure. He’s a Palestinian victim of the US and Israel.

It’s a very clear political statement. Would you prefer if it had a Season Pass and cosmetics shop to meet modern gaming standards?
