I'm 33, but for reasons that don't matter, wasn't allowed video games as a kid and as an adult now, am not at all a gamer. Just a disclosure.
I've always felt conflicted about video games that portray actual battles of WW1 and WW2, that it's somehow disrespectful or something. I mean, we're 1 day away from the 100th anniversary of the day of armistice when WW1 ended, and you're talking about a game.
I understand how crazy that is, because of all kinds of reasons.
It's touchy because American Civil War reenactments are totally okay, but a reenactment of 9/11 or some battle from Iraq or Afghanistan.. Wouldn't be okay.
And regardless, the work you're doing:
A) is popular
And
B) takes an incredible amount of time and skill to execute
I'm sure you are professionals etc. So I'm not knocking you.
You said AMA, so... I guess my question is:
How do you find that balance between a good game vs showing respect to the fallen?
