An inspection of Activision Blizzard’s connections to state power and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that Call of Duty is a carefully constructed piece of military propaganda
Never touching that shitty franchise again after this.
What does that lead to? Isn’t awareness and not buying into the propaganda hidden beneath microtransactions enough? You’re allowed to enjoy stuff even though you can do the minimum to not support it.
I hate EA, Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft because they exploit people for money and generally make game dev hell for many workers. The fact that they also do propaganda for the CIA or whatever doesn’t change that I can’t enjoy their newer games anyway.
The old games are pretty fun. Pirating (which I don’t condone, please don’t sue me daddy) or buying used is an option.

Nope! The dopamine system can be self-aware and still exploited. It’s why people struggle to get off the god awful U.S diet despite knowing the harms of it.
I do have to admit that they are pretty fun sometimes. Maybe that’s why it’s so dangerous. It’s dopamine inducing propaganda.
