All the best games are not just political, but explicitly and unashamedly leftist.

• Disco Elysium

• The Metal Gear franchise

• Most of Borderlands

• Hitman World of Assassination trilogy

• Doom (2016)

• Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas (Bethesda ones less so)

EVE Online is an ACCIDENTALLY leftist game. It presents a society functioning entirely on right-wing free market capitalism. It's fricking miserable to play. It's a hellscape. Everything sucks. And that happened organically, as an inevitable outcome of its premise. You could argue, if you were a fricking idiot, that Bioshock isn't "really" leftist because the plot simply DECIDED that Andrew Ryan's libertarian utopia failed. EVE Online just said "okay have at it" and within five years major power players had literally recreated OPEC.

Most games, even if they're right-wing, are pretty low-key about it. They'll be vaguely nationalistic military fetishism like Call of Duty.

The right-wing mindset is a very poor fit for any kind of dev work, and most non-right-wing devs don't want to put that shit in their game. The main reason for this, of course, is that right-wingers are basically incapable of making art.

Brief Reading on who Vex is

TL;DR: Former #G*mergater turned furry lolcow. The to pipeline stays undefeated. She gets dunked on by leftoids, rightoids, and coomers
