As long as you get to be a nazi.

Sounds like you think Anti-Semitism is funny.

I'm not looking down on your opinion, but if someone doesn't try, how can we know what video games can or cannot do. This subject obviously is on shaky grounds so I definitely understand where some people might draw that line as to what and what they don't want done in a form of a game.
Also there was a Holocaust game that was supposed to be in development for the DS in a form of a storybook gameplay style, but that too got put into the bin and to my knowledge never made it past the Nintendo heads.

Fiction can be biased and warped, but history is set in stone. This is practically history. I am white, but I took an African American history class. There is no race but one race, and that is the human race. If you had Fallout 3, did you enslave people on your "evil" playthrough, or saved them on your "good" playthough. This is just that with escaping as the main subject.
Also, please refrain using Godwin's Law from this from now on.

Damn.

I still disagree and my post wasn't made jokingly. I personally believe that some games do not need to be made.
Also, please don't accuse me of being humorous with the Holocaust. If you posted on Kotaku long enough you would know I take this stuff seriously.

When I referred to the extermination of the Native Americans as "the American holocaust" I ended up suspended for a month, because god forbid anyone simply accept that, like damn near every single county to ever exist, we took the land we have by slaughtering the people who were here before us.

So true, so true.

Where in America ignores that part of history? That's really really odd.

If the game here is done with respect to history, and is not politically motivated in the end, it could be a useful tool. I usually have doubts about how things claiming to have "the whole story" turn out though.
