I enjoy the odd shooter and I love strategy games, but, of course, real war isn’t heroic, and even when it’s righteous and soldiers are fighting for a good cause, civilians and innocents invariably get caught up in it all. ![]() ![]() It really does my heart glad when I see game developers take a more mature look at the impact that war has on people.
