Call of Duty 3 Question.

I just downloaded the Call of Duty 3 trailer from the Japanese store and well...wouldn't that be like...a really tough sell? I mean, they were on the losing side of that fight, as I recall. Would you want to play a game where you're reminded your country made a really bad move? I mean, I've not played the game...any of the Call of Duty games, actually but I have to wonder just how hard a sell it must be in Germany and Japan. Sorry, completely stupid and silly post but the thought was in my head and I figured I'd ask folks opinion on it.Teyon

You have a good point but label it as a video game then everything is ok.

Hah.

If I know about anything, I know about this. If you look at my sig, you will see I work for Stormregion. We made two series of games (Panzers and Rush) which are RTS games that take place in WWII. I am American but I live in Hungary and Stormregion is a Hungarian company. And here is the kicker:

The publishers for our games have been German plus the best market for our games is Germany. Our games are a little different than others because most of them just have you play as the Americans. In our games, you play as the Russians and as the Germans as well as the Americans.

So I have of course asked them (our German publishers) why Germans really like our games when they based on a war they lost? Here is what they say:

Although Germany lost the war and the Nazis commited atrocities, the German war machine was one of the best the world has seen. So there is great pride in the achievements of the German army, navy etc. Some bad decisions made on the part of an insane megalomaniac did contribute to the losses they incurred.
