The writer mentions it is a fraught topic. The writer also mentions colonization as conquest and taking other peoples land and imperialism and controlling populations great distance away. Again we constantly get articles on other horrible things in history that don't spend the entire time wringing their hands about it (because it is a game at the end of the day, not a history lecture or a sermon). War is one of the most awful things humans do but we talk about it in games all the time without even getting into atrocities committed (and we all understand atrocities happen in war). It is just we aren't always focused on that when we are talking about it for game purposes. When every conversation in gaming gets reduced to moral concerns, it just starts to feel stifling and you lose the people you are trying to persuade.</p></blockquote><p></p>
