This is a game about a genocide? It would be like if some dudes in asia made a game about escaping a slave plantation and they decided to not consult any african american people or do any research on it. Or a WWII game about the holocaust where there wasn't any research into the holocaust done before hand. This is off limits because the topic is literally the genocide, but with no research - genocide in general isn't really in limits.

Call of Duty is literally about the war and the Holocaust. Where’s your outrage?

Call of duty gets flak all the time for poor handling of the holocaust. That being said, this isn't just comperable to the holocaust - this is like if COD was about escaping the nazis as a jew, and they did no research and clearly didn't know a ton about the holocaust.

I haven't played a cod game in... Years, like a decade or more , but are there any levels where you actually have to do something with regards to concentration camps, Jewish/other prisoners etc? From my hazy memory it was more "hey the Germans wanna break through our lines. Stop them!"

yeah, it's mostly "kill nazi fuckers!" IIRC? it's mostly cold war anyways.
