Wolfenstein vs Call of Duty - The Need for “B” Games - Extra Credits
The gaming industry faces a significant disparity in how mainstream titles address sensitive historical and political themes.
- High-budget AAA franchises like Call of Duty often sanitize sensitive historical events, such as the Holocaust, to maintain broad appeal and avoid controversy.
- The 'B-game' model, exemplified by titles like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, uses lower budgets and reduced corporate oversight to explore transgressive themes like fascism and racism.
- B-games function similarly to historical B-movies by operating on the industry fringes to push boundaries in political discourse and violence that mainstream productions currently avoid.
