Hitpoint Pals

Episode 20: Making our post-E3 return, the Hitpoint Pals recap their favorite announcements from the showcase including Watch Dogs: Legion, Cyberpunk 2077, and Psychonauts 2. We then take a look at the decision by EA to sell Nazi character cosmetics in Battlefield V, and the dangers of normalizing Nazis as "just German soldiers." We look at the games Call of Duty: WW2, Hearts of Iron IV, and the Wolfenstein series and discuss how each of these games portrays the Axis powers, and how the cartooning of Nazis in media detracts from the atrocities of World War II, and the events leading up to the war that allowed those atrocities to happen. Show Notes: How games whitewash Nazism, and the responsibility developers have to history How Call of Duty: WW2 handles swastikas and female soldiers What Happens When Wolfenstein Comes Back at the Same Time Nazis Do? Games Have Always Tried to Whitewash Nazis as Just 'German Soldiers' Keep up with the show and send us your questions on Twitter!   --- Send in a v
