    Just... wow. Was this made just to piss people off?

    Dark Souls is almost a 1-1 analogy for late stage capitalism and the exploitation of the poor by the rich on a dying planet, and the PCs gender and appearance are fully customizable with 0 impact on the story. Hell, one of the gods is non-binary.

    I cant even pretend to be able to wrap my head around their reasoning for Chrono Trigger.

    If they are using an image of Fallout '76 to represent all of Fallout... like holy shit do you only think 3, 4 and '76 exist? Because 1, 2, and NV would like a word with you.

    The most offensive one has to be fucking Deus Ex that game is pretty much explicitly anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist and trans humanist... wtf?

        He promised to give Minecraft away for free but then decided to cash in and leave with millions of dollars.

          He's a billionaire. The Microsoft deal was for $2 billion, and I assume he got most of it somehow. Capitalism, folks, not even once.

    Animal Crossing is basically a debt peonage simulator, classic left ideology

    LMAO the new Hitman games explicitly made all the targets evil, rich, fuckers because they wanted the games to be more fun and have thematic lighter tone.

    this list is so stupid, none of it makes sense and fighting over individual games is equivalent to factchecking fascist calls to genocide (like saying "trump is wrong in that drinking bleach will not cure covid" rather than denouncing him entirely)

    that being said, how the fuck is dark souls right wing??? you literally kill the old kings and gods who have failed the populace

      LIKE THE RUNNING PLOT THAT CONNECTS THE GAMES IS ABOUT THE AGE OF MAN BEING DELAYED BY THE GODS TERRIFIED OF LOSING THEIR CONTROL OVER HUMANITY WHILE CURSING THE WHOLE WORLD BY DENYING NATURE ITSELF

          Toshihiro Nagoshi is a very wise man, and has explicitly stated that he refuses to glorify the Yakuza. I think that effort is clear as the interaction with the world around you is more about interactions with your community and establishments, rather than in GTA where interaction is defended by cruel violence at NPC's.

    FNAF is a critic of capitalism and how the working class is exploited for profits even when there are murderer animatronics

    ah, so ff7 remake is a left game, but the one where you're helping an environmental terrorist cell with a specific attack against a major corporation who ends up retaliating by basically killing 1/7 of their city to eliminate the terrorists while blaming them at the same time in a pre 9/11 world is not?

      So tifa got her bobbies smaller than the worst burden someone could have to a big but reasonable size and that IS FEMINISM LIKE ALL THE LEFTISTS this is the reasoning I think

        We made a model of tifa with believable boobs, instead of this wrought iron rack she had in the original because it was the 90's and we all just discovered big boobs.

      There's still a level of truth here, which is that right wingers tend to avoid colorful, single player, and fantasy style games, due to their need to enjoy realistic (usually gun) violence, dominating others competitively, and identifying vicariously with a realistic-looking protagonist.

      It doesn't necessarily say much about a game, but it will say a lot about a games community. You will def find more chuds playing battlefield than zelda
