      Tactics' plot is about humanist philosophy
      FFVII's plot is about survivor's guilt and overcoming trauma
      Fallout is just meant to be funny
      Deus Ex is about not trusting the government, which is an apolitical stance
      Metal Gear, the original, is about Snake and the rest is just a backdrop that doesn't espouse any particular political side. Because it's just a ripoff of DieHard + Rambo and some other war movies Kojima liked. The original Metal Gear prototype even had the likeness of the actor of one of those movies.

      There's a huge difference between saying that the poor nation of Israel just got bombed for no reason by Iran (Forspoken) and explaining the geopolitical history of the region that led to Israel's embassy attack and Iran's reprisal (Deus Ex).

      The "politics" if they have any of said games only work within their
      own respective universes, even as something as
      "close to reality" like the MG series or Forspoken
      you still have the fictional elements, its up to the player
      to interpret the story or enact the art of shoehorning in your
      political beliefs, you can point to a game's "political messaging" or whatever
      but you can't ignore the fact that 9 times out of 10, people just want to play a fricking game

      shitposting is still shitposting, why not talk about what could have been

    There is a stark difference between modern pop politics and timeless questions and ideals that have existed for centuries across the globe. Putting an ugly Black person in a video game for it's own sake is only politically relevant to an unhinged group of narcissists that never leave their online spaces and in 10-20 years will completely go over the heads of people that play the game outside of the context of homosexual culture wars. It is not the same as games that ask and answer questions about the nature of liberty, authority, religion, the role of the government, and whether or not the ends justify the means, all of which are universal themes that are understood on some level by every major civilization to have ever exist. These themes are as philosophical as they are political, and that's why no one rags on them.

      Abe also managed it with wild hyperbole which allowed the critique to be of a characture. In criticized games there is a jarring mismatch of the game itself and what message it pushes on the player. People making run of RDR2 is a great example of this. A character has modern progressive commentary in the "Wild West" and it's clear the expectation is to identify with it. Moral grandstanding while taking itself seriously. Go back to Abe and consider the difference.
