Do right wing/conservative (mainstream) video games even exist?

[Akboris]

Ive noticed that seemingly every video game to ever make it big and generate enough to create a whole franchise of games, and hell, even most one off games to see a full release, parrot left wing talking points and themes and agendas beneath the surface (with varying quality of writing of course), why does it seem like genuinely conservative video games, as in, created by or at least with the intent of supporting conservatives or right wing ideals, basically dont exist?

This is also funny given just how much pressure certain groups place on the industry to parrot specific ideals and agendas, given that the industry almost already support them.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is arguably pretty conservative.

Nobody sets out to make games with political statements. The issue is that the right wing has been turning common human decency political over the last 5 decades

Oh look at all the people being "woke" by being nice to people or wanting to defeat the people who aren't nice to people. Blame the politicians you follow for making your hobbies un-enjoyable.




Edit for those who can't follow context.

I'm responding to the op who said "parrot left wing talking points and themes and agendas"

Before all those political jargon words existed it was all just people being nice which is what a lot of the ♥♥♥♥ right wing people are pushing as some sort of terrible agenda! How dare people be nice!

The original game was just him setting out to make The Guns of Navarone mixed with the Great Escape, but by the second game, he was preaching on energy crises, child soldiers, the treatment of Eastern Bloc athletes and the ever-popular disposability of soldiers.

Also, grown men venerating Santa Claus.

I disagree.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is a pretty objective historical take on what Bohemia would be in that timeframe and in the region the game is set.
The next game will have more, as you move to larger cities and a tad different region of Bohemia, but overall, the game is merely realistic.

My take on a conservative right wing game would be this.

Realistic objective historical takes ARE, by definition, conservative.

So the developers of Disco Elysium didn't set out to make a political statement?

Good point. Even has multiple layers to it.

No they are not.
They are objective.

The point here is, that it is not political in nature, but instead focused on giving "whomever, no matter their political affiliation" a realistic and authentic showcase of said time period.

The other game listed has a political motive and the developer even speaks openly about it and ofc if being serious, leaning towards a more authoritarian approach

So you need to preserve that picture of how it was and don't change anything about it. It's conservative.
