Sad how every single time you see something about Palestine you also see those that are so vehemently against the existence of Palestinians. It's a game that should share some experiences from true stories but here we have people justifying the murders of children. Thank you Rami for sharing this.

I'm not gonna read rando comments on a full stomach, but I'm pleased someone mentioned "This War of Mine". I remember when the events that inspired it took place.

TWOM made the decision not to name the setting. I respect that decision, but in this case, not naming names is not an option.

I just realized, when / if the game comes out, you will be able to filter out all the video games journalism who are not actually video game journalists when they start bashing the game for the wrong reasons.

Rami, are you ready to put some video game journalists on the blacklist? :D
