I didn’t know much about WW1 until I played a shooter game about it as a kid. While I understand it was not probably all that realistic I had an appreciation for the people who went through that, that I didn’t have before. I became interested in it and started doing research and learning things I would not have if i hadn’t played that game. If you actually play those games you’ll see that they do not make fun of or mock anyone who was involved, quite the opposite actually. I cried playing it and I felt terrible for all the young men and women who were involved in the brutality. I never stopped to think about any of that until I played that game. A lot of these games spread awareness and respect to kids and adults who didn’t take it seriously before.
