I admire Spec Ops: The Line for at least attempting to say something poignant about modern military shooters, even if it did come across a bit hamfisted in parts. Because let’s be honest, Call of Duty is hosed

Spec Ops isn't a great commentary on video games in general but it's a pretty good horror game about American intervention

Spec Ops The Line really earns it because every part of its initial presentation, and gameplay, is of an absolutely standard and serviceable brown war shooter as were inescapably popular at the time, down to being at least nominally a sequel to the first Spec Ops game that played it entirely straight. I dunno how much the 'the good ending is turning off the game' discourse is actually on point, I got the idea that the point is more the protagonist insisting that killing people is the only way forward even when explicitly ordered not to, to the point where the game doesn't present you with any options to refuse to commit atrocities of questionable at best strategic value, kinda drives home more that you're not playing the good guys, and you are not in control of the narrative.

I think the “you can always turn the game off” thing might have been an offhand comment from one of the devs and idiots on the internet ran with it. I think your insight is spot on and that’s how I felt about the game myself. I think the game wants you to play it, and it wants you to feel bad about the things you do in it. I personally like that, but I get why that rubs some people the wrong way.
