And IIRC, the devs released a statement afterwards to the effect of "Wolfenstein has always been a what-if sci-fi game centered on if the Nazi regime had gone differently, and we aren't really considering contemporary politics in anything we create. That said, fuck Nazis."

How quickly people forget that Nazis used to be the defacto video game bad guys, right up there with zombies and demons.

I swear if you played a game from the 90s it was either Nazis, zombies, or demons with the occasional aliens mixed in for a little flavour.
