Should we stop selling Police centric games?


With how everything is going now, games like SWAT, This is The police, and various other games where you play as police are glorifying cops despite what has been going on lately. In my opinion, they should stop being sold.

What do you think though? Should we pull them from shelves given recent events?

I dunno.
Lego City is about the only one that's an actual "police brutality simulator".

I loved SWAT :( Also I don't know if it really glorifies the police since you can just go around shooting all the suspects

No, but I think developers of said games should be mindful not to whitewash the organizations they are portraying in their games.

Its only like 15% of people that want to see a lower police presence. Doesnt sound like a winning strategy.

Fiction affects reality, though.

I don't think I've ever played a game that glorifies cops or even depicts them in a positive light.

Parasite Eve on the PS1 had you play as a female NYC officer and she's depicted as a hero

Cop games are fine.

Any cop games that paint cops as always right no matter what can get the fuck out though. Like "Oh no, this guy went too far!!!! Oh wait, the guy who got his rights violated was a criminal/a potential criminal so it's all okay and we're gonna forget about it".

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long
