Why are there so few video games about current events? All I want is a nice RPG about the Syrian civil war or the Donbass rebellion.
Because it takes time to develop a game.

How hard can it be with so many free engines and so much low-cost talent available? I've seen freelancing sites with people offering their coding or graphics skills for third world prices.

>Syrian civil war
>Syrians are fleeing specifically from Russian troops committing genocide
Most Americans don't even know this tragedy is still an active event. They only know of the refugees committing crimes and wasting resources.
Sounds really boring. Not to mention controversial.
>>318155697
Okay, sure thing Ahmed.
>Boring sandnigger conflicts
Literally dozens of games already feature this. The market was saturated with them.
You people are boring. Your religion is obnoxious. Brown and bloom literally came about because your region of Earth is so hideous and Africa-tier when it comes to mental development issues.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare has moved on from you people. As they should.
We are in dire need of a proper kebap removal game.

And me and my brothers need a proper Euro conversion game. It is game where we own you again and again.

Stfu you zionist shill whore, Shlomo. The ones committing genocide are ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, funded by Turkey, Qatar, Saudi, USA, and Israel. Assad and Putin are trying to rescue Syria from extremists who kill people just for not following their extremist ideology.
ISIS are nothing more than tools.
>Daesh

Real world conflicts make shit uninteresting settings for video games, unless they're really old. WW2 works in games because enough time has passed for the media to distort the actual reality of the war into some romantic star-wars heroes vs baddies battle.
Modern conflicts are still in people's minds and would be too controversial and traumatic to adapt into games.
>>318155401
This game kinda what you look for?
Obviously it's out-dated now, but it did reference current events.

pick up a newspaper, johnny
I frankly don't think the industry is ready for political commentary.
Like seriously, imagine if EA or ubisoft or whoever started making games with political statements, does it really look like a good idea?
>>318156893

No Google results for any permutation of "ISIS supports TPP" or similar. Confirmed bullshit.

They don't have to be 1:1 reconstruction of events, they can be just themed by the war.
See ArmA 2 and OA.

>one side wants a secular dictatorship with freedom of religion and where women have equal rights

hmmm I wonder
Middle east conflicts are fucking lame.
Cant make a good game about that.
If you want some faggy tacticool shit then we already got plenty of that.
Go play Alladin for the SNES or Genesis instead or some shit.
Rest in peace
>>318157698
>Middle east conflicts are fucking lame.
>some faggy tacticool shit
I was thinking more along the lines of geopolitics and conspiracy. For example, it would be interesting to play as a Syrian intelligence officer trying to infiltrate the Turkish government or something like that. There would also be some conventional battles of course, but it shouldn't be the central focus. Like others in this thread have said, plain old FPSes involving the Middle East are overdone.
They tried to make one.
Would never work out honestly.
>>318155401
Because nobody knows anything about them. That's why most video games center around a handful of events and location like ww2 and western Europe or generic futuristic settings: because people aren't educated about any events well enough to writ about them
>>318157856
Good riddance.
It would have been another C&C 4 if it ever got released.
They sucked ALL the humour out, the art direction was as generic as possible, microtransactions up the ass and no single player.
>>318157645
>Syrian conflict
>two distinct sides
boy oh boy
>>318155401
the syrian civil war already has plenty of RPGs, just go grab one xD
>>318159412
>>318159412
Oh right, sorry. I forgot to include the "moderate" American-backed rebels. You know, the ones that just behead their opponents instead of burning them alive. The ones who expel the Christians from towns instead of killing them and selling them as slaves. So moderate.
>>318155401
>donbass rebellion
Also known as little green men from Russia.

is it just me or does this guy look exactly like fred armisen? is the next season of portlandia set when 500,000 syrians move to portland?

Xcom 2 is basically a terrorism war game, only its ok because its human vs xeno.
>>318160232
How about YPG/PKK, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, SDF, Nusra, Peshmerga, Iraqi army/PMU?
All these factions aren't split into two arbitrary teams like some sort of video game. Also ISIS doesn't even target Christians deliberately. Christians can live relatively safe in ISIS areas - unlike Alawites, Shiites and Yezidis.
Ace Combat: Skies Over Syria
Because you cannot criticize the religion of peace® or you will be brutally murdered
becaues it would be an unfaire figth. ISIS would always lose.(the drones will fly)
>>318162798
drones have never defeated anything, baka
>>318162894
U dont know !!! BAKA
>>318162894
They sure are good at bombing schools and hospitals which ensures mudslimes will never grow to reproduce
>>318162565
>Also ISIS doesn't even target Christians deliberately.
That's somewhat true. Depends on which Christian ethnicities though.
>>318163086
Which Christian community is the worst off in Syria?
How did they survive in the middle of hostile territory for so many millenniums?
Play Alpha Protocol

Aren't there a bunch of Let's Play of this on Youtube? Get your fix there OP
>>318163007
The sandniggers sure are good at using schools and churchs a bases for their war.
Then OMG WHY DO THEY KEEP BOMBING THESE SCHOOLS FOR NO REASON. THOSE DRONES NEED TO LEARN HOW TO AIM.

Contrary to popular belief, most muslims don't give a flying fuck if you are a Christian in the middle east. Syria has many Christian communities that have been left alone for centuries - until now.
Reminder that USA basically founded ISIS
>>318163882
USA also armed Saddam and the Taliban.
Nothing new.
>>318163729
Won't they be the first one to be attacked if a war breaks out?
Video games are haram.

>>318155401
look at them open world and faction potential. we need Syrianwar MMO
>>318164098
Why would they be? What kind of war would that be?
>>318155697
holy shit ahmed, my sides are gone
>>318155401
Because if you make a game about Islam or their pedo prophet, the entire Muslim mob worldwide will try and will successfully kill you, your colleagues and your family.
And it will be celebrated by all 1.2 billion Muslims.
>>318164098
actually they are, contrary to what lies Ahmed fed you.
Usually, Christians in the Middle East are the only people willing to work hard for their livelihood.
This usually means that they are rich. And everybody in the Middle East knows that.
So, at the start of any war or disturbance, mudslimes usually target christians businesses, buildings and houses because they believe those stupid retards can handle the loss rather than poor sand dindu nuffins who have to offer their part of their money to the mosque.
If you are a Christian, you usually are the only willing to work hard in the sea of lazy retards in the Middle East. If you study there, you will find your mudslime mates always trying to copy your assignment in the belief that you actually put effort in your work in comparison to them.
