Of course, saying all games must engage with the political implications is for sure too high a bar to be reasonable. But I think engaging with our assumptions set by out media landscape is always a useful endeavor. On the infrequent occasions that I interact with network television, I am shocked by the degree to which the American entertainment landscape is dominated by police and military fetishization.
“Apolitical” works in this context often just mean “in support of the status quo”.
