For example, Fallout 2, you play as a tribesman fighting the US government (which includes them wanting to commit genocide on the planet's population)
a white tribesman who has his orgin straight up linked to the vault dweller. Also the vault dweller is straight up white and all optional characters in fallout 1 were white. In fallout 2, people argue there is one "mixed race" character but they literally made him a spear chucker and a violent savage. Tribals in fallout is to show how humans never change, also enclave is not entirely the us govt but a part of it which later fallout series royally fucked up.
which is an allegory for Indigenous Americans vs the European US government. Obviously a right wing or even apolitical developer wouldn't do a plot like this. Tim Cain being gay and left wing is often brought up to reinforce this point too. Other examples of this in Fallout would be the criticism of Capitalism as well as allowing gay relationships in Fallout NV.
It can be an allegory about the biblical atpry of goliath and david, the allegory part is all upto you what you want to think and go with. This is the same where you kill children, and join a slaving guild. It has no politics or a deeper dive into it like disco elysium does. Even disco ekysium does not takes politics seriously. No one with a sound mind does, because politics is nlthing but a complex emotion you bare theough your experiences. In the end all govt are evil.
Tim caine is not the producer, you can check the wiki and see who wrote it and who had their brains into it. Tim caine is a programmer who san an oppurtunity for a wasteland game and after he did, he washed off. In his top rpgs of all time he mentions all modern rpgs like fucking elden ring and baldur gate 3, those who played baldur gate would know by the game sucks in act 3. So his opinion and creativity is the question.
Read chris avellone review on the fallout show, he desperatly wanted to shit on it but he has enough enemies to deal with. He himself said that fallout was never about capitalism, i request you to again play the games. Fallout does not even once critices capitalism because how will they when the whole pre war setting is literally one on one depiction of the coldwar era? I dont how anyone came to that conclusion when i played the games even if i read between the lines i saw nothing mentioning capitalism? Vault tech is not a company by company defination and was under Enclave which used vat enclave to carry human experimentations to create a successful colony in space.
Infact one can easily argue that the reason why humans are even alive after getting nuked well its because of capitalism and capitalistic endevours and products like microfusion, nuclear bunkers, fusion cells, mr handys, eyebots etc.
Another example, a lot of leftists say GTA San Andreas criticizes police brutality and GTA 4 and 5 has a lot of on the nose left wing political satire that you find on the internet and radio in game for example in GTA 5, they say that Republicans make the US unlivable to illegals don't want to move there.
Gta san andreas....the same game where the fucking cia guy makes you fly a warplane and shoot missles at some "communist ships" so you can free your brother. Gta 4 is completely a pre 2010 HBO or AMD writing with its own flaws, where main story does not has any mention of leftist stench. And gta is never taken to be seriously, again its a staire of the current state of usa at that time. The game still uses a lot of slurs and even mocks a black guy thinking an arab is his brother.
In Elder Scrolls, Leftists also say Vivec in Morrowind was non binary or transgender
Never played elder scrolls but isnt he a fucking god?
Metal Gear Solid is often brought up in relation to this point as well, the series is overtly political/"woke" yet from the leftists pov the right wing game is oblivious/ignorant to it.
Never play msg so i cant put my 2 cents.
What is your opinion on this argument and counter argument if you have one?
Stop taking politics seriously, time change
