That's the point I was going to make. I don't believe this news because I don't think CIA is paying for fucking CoD games. In fact, CoD games do pretty well without the help of any goverment agency, and they use negative stereotypes and cliches like crazy.Hardcore_gamer said:
Especially when we're talking about the company that developed Kuma War -- you know, the unabashed propaganda piece? Ordinarily I wouldn't be inclined to trust anything a nation that is on the verge of war with the US says about us[footnote]do a search for "Cyber War." The first hit should be an ABC news article talking about some serious shit going down between the US and Iran, shit serious enough that it would be considered acts of war on both sides if the laws were up to date regarding the internet[/footnote], but the fact that they picked the company that is most known for making Kuma War tells me there's probably at least a grain of truth here, in that the government probably did request that Kuma studios make that particular game for them. I mean, I wasn't even aware that Kuma Games made anything aside from Kuma War prior to reading this article.Hardcore_gamer said:
I think he was pointing out that this is a he-said-she-said deal coming from two governments, neither of which are exactly known for honesty when dealing with covert operations. It's like trying to mediate an argument between Hitler and Stalin; you can't trust either one of them, they're both known liars.Marmooset said:
Sorry, but this comment was kind of a WTF moment. Flip over to the current thread about the war on used games to see a bunch of gamers who now believe something because of a propaganda campaign. Besides, nobody said Kuma War was meant to brainwash people; it's just a propaganda piece. So was the Donald Duck cartoon Der Fuhrer's Face, and that's actually a pretty well loved cartoon.Adam Jensen said:
