World War 2 games, i suppose.
With each year passed, the feeling gets stronger and stronger. That's the current political status for the foreseeable future.

? I don't think there are many WW2 games depicting Germany as the good side (and it's unlikely there will be in future), so what do you refer to?

Ever see the pics and memes where the WW2 vet is standing at a memorial with people saying "Glad we won the war" and then showing a bunch of raving loonies/PC people with colored hair and etc? Yeah that makes me sad sometimes.

Read the thread title..."games where the bad guys feel like the good guys"...then look again at what they said. ;)

There are a lot of games, where you can play for all sides of the conflict, including Germany.

I suppose that's true for those hex-based strategy games, but I don't have any experience with them.
I don't think there are any games which intentionally try to depict Nazi Germany as the "good side" though, that would be pretty controversial after all, to put it mildly.

Nah, i was refering to current political situation and rewriting of history, demolition of USSR's monuments in Europe, demonization of USSR, etc.
So, with each year passed, when you play Germany's campaign in any WW2 RTS or TBS strategy, you will not feel that you play for bad guys, when you kill those 'ruskis' on WW2 battlefields...

You know what I want? A game that shows how bad the allies were in the war....as in the bombing of supply lines which led to mass starvation of POWs and also the russian/etc treatment of german POWs they captured.

If we must make such games accurate then they should show all the bad sh*t others did.

Sounds exaggerated to me. Dislike for Stalin's Soviet Union doesn't imply a positive view of Nazi Germany, except among fascists and other fringe people. A more typical view is that both were horrible systems (though I suppose most people would admit that Nazism was worse and that the Soviet contribution to its defeat has to be acknowledged).

To be fair we need some "bad guys" in games.....usually it;'s whoever is seen as worst at the time. It was russians and middle easterners(during the cold war hype era of gaming and the middle east war eras irl respectively) at some point, and it will be others as time goes on.

Most rational people realize they are just shooting at/hurting caricatures and propped up boogeymen when playing such, and know not to paint all such people in a bad light.
