COD was and still is pretty big but Fornite seems to skew much younger in terms of appeal. I haven't seen hard numbers but I'd also say it's most likely much bigger in terms of active players than COD has been in several years.

Morel orel is honestly some good depressing underated stuff. I like how it shows how poo poo like evangelicalism just destroys you from the inside out because its toxic perfectionist ideal.

I did too, until the developers basically admitted they were being unironic with the neocon quotes.

What is the deal with this clown? He's the goober that tried to claim Maxine Waters murdered him during the previous election. He was working for TYT at the time, and I could sorta understand that it helped feed into the "establishment dems hate progressive journalists" thing they were doing, but what the hell is he trying to accomplish with this asinine concern trolling about unfair nazi coverage?

I tried finding proof of what I said, but I just an article that kind of convinced me otherwise, which makes the sixth or so time my has been changed because I was previously contradicted. I do know COD development team (along with other game studios) has had similar connections to state department officials the way Hollywood studios have had.

There's a ton of people involved in modern AAA video games; it's possible that some of them intended the subversive bits, even if the rest of the game is intended to be taken at face value. Of course, for a modern or near future shooter to be commercially viable, their options are limited.
