The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
I've got to be honest, no game has given me the same gratification at seeing Nazis get their asses handed to them in the same way that watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade has. I'd sooner watch them for the hundredth time than play Wolfenstein to get my kicks.

I should replay World at War.
And I've always wanted to play The Saboteur.

I like the first comment on the article saying that Neo Nazis are different from WW2 German Nazis since we arent in WW2, like that there is a distinction between their beliefs. And one of my friends tries to argue that the alt-right didnt grow from Gamers Gate...

Good to see Laura back in full force!
Oh wow.
Well there is a pretty big difference between the normal German people swept up in world war 2 and the only choice you really had was to join the German war machine, digital representations of whom we kill in countless games, and the people out on the streets over the weekend who are there purely out of hate.
holy shit this is fantastic

Everybody needs to play The Saboteur. Just don't watch the video in the article, it's the ending and the ending is legit surprising and shouldn't be spoiled.
That's brilliant!

Can't wait for the new Wolfenstein. This time killing nazi scum is gonna be even more glorious.

I wonder if they do some rewriting for the game to sneak in a reference to current events.

That almost sounds like saying the Republicans arent bad because they are swept up in the current wave of nationalism occurring in the US that has led to the events like this weekend.
I mean when boiled down, the nazi messaging = neo-nazi messaging, though neo-nazis are more "sensitive" as they seem to accept more folks into the hate fold who dont fit into the whole Aryan sect, which seems less restrictive than the Nazi's of WW2 and their grand view.
There's already a so much for the tolerant left gag in there

Maybe I'm cynical but having this come off her controversial TB interview seems like an attempt to redeem some respect she may have lost by being a fence sitter.
Not only that but it's also a dig at the section of her audience in an attempt to trigger people by the click bate title.

probably reading too much into it but I wouldn't be surprised
Its not comparable whatsoever imo. When you're an average German citizen, your country is being run by the nazis and you either conform or be seen as a sympathiser and get killed, you conform. Not every soldier in the Wehrmacht was a hate filled piece of shit, some had to do it for the safety of their family and themselves.
People out over the weekend were there out of their free choice to hate and express hatred. No one is threatening their families if they don't partake.
I do think developers should come up with different ways of dealing with Nazis besides shooting them. Like poisoning them. How many games let you poison Nazis? Not enough.
This is better than the article.
