Gotta look for the downvoted ones, lol

One example...

People play games for escapism, not to be reminded of politics. Not every story needs deep political roots, people just want to have fun and forget about real world bullshit.

Tbh, I can see that. I hop in CS and its political, but I play it for escapism.
