At this point, yk what... someone please, just make a geopolitical game that has you play fictional anti-imperialist, if not socialist states, where its plot basically rails against issues like unequal exchange, compradors and reactionary-minded gusanos, and supports an ideology of critical support and siege socialism...
Pretty sure most gamers aren't full out NAFO failers or Hasbara-butts. Is this 'non-political' for them?
Of course, don't say anything that relates to modern politics, but merely hint a bit it, gamer brains are too smooth to notice all of them to put 2 and 2...
Maybe it could just an FPS whose politics is the antithesis of Call of Duty...
Put some in there too. Its existence in games with leftist subject matter completely throws them off.
Oh wait, yeah!
So.... Atomic Heart?
No... I think that's Ukrainian chauvinist game, from what I've heard
Edit: I'm idiot, Munrock is Russian....

It's funny... from the reviews on wikipedia, the game has a liberal ideological lens on the USSR, being bad, yet Ukraine bans it because of its focus on it alone... lmao
Yep, the devs were definitely libs and slapped together a setting to answer the question "what if the USSR won and achieved FALGSC, but it was bad ackshually???!11" ...So take the game with a grain of salt.
