“#War and game<\/a>s: Why are there so many WW2 games?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Second World War was the deadliest conflict in human history. In terms of lives lost, the devastation goes beyond comprehension.<\/p>\n

What began in the late 1930s as a series<\/a> of conflicts involving battle between troops on horseback, infantry with long rifles, and bi-planes, managed to escalate into a global conflict involving jet fighters, machine guns, tanks, and atomic weapons. And it all occurred in less than a decade.<\/p>\n

At no point in human history have so many people faced the horrors of war simultaneously as between the years of 1939 and 1945.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to understand why gamers would gravitate towards games about WW2. No matter where you\u2019re from, we can all trace our history back to its effect on our ancestors and homelands. It\u2019s a setting we\u2019re all familiar with in one way or another.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t explain its enduring popularity. WW2 is one of the most common game settings for strategy, simulation, and<\/i> first-person-shooter games. It\u2019s also found<\/a> in RPGs, collectible card games, MMOs, twin-stick shooters, and just about every other genre.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact it\u2019s now been more than 75 years since the war ended, we\u2019re still seeing dozens of games based in WW2 launch every year.<\/p>\n
