I can't even begin to properly express an emotion to this. The reviews are exactly what you think it is.

This should just be taken down by steam tbh. It has no actual critique to make, its entire purpose is to profit off of either shock content by being outrageous or to pander to people whose views align with wanting slavery.
It's not like games with the mechanics this uses don't exist. Dungeon Keeper did it in the 90s. Slap your minions with your god hand to make them work faster. Slap them too much and they will become unhappy and die. Games don't have to use literal plantations and black slaves to achieve this gameplay and don't have to rely on pandering or shock as the principle purpose of their existence.
It is art with no value or goal other than to upset people, either the left for when it does not get taken down or the right for when it does. There should be no hesitation about removing such things.
I don't really disagree, but then where ia the line? All ww2 games all relay on atrocities. They could all be fantasy games.
I would draw the line at a WW2 game that glorifies the Nazis, just as I draw the line at a game that glorifies slavery.
Every WW2 game when you don't get to shoot nazis is suspicious. Doubly suspicious if you can play as nazis.
It's actually illegal in China to produce "alternative history" as a subject matter of videogame content, which is why you also don't see a Chinese version of the grand strategy genre.
