Libs are angry maddened about it, as expected.

When you point out that this is no different from all those US military propaganda games, they are quick to bring up that this is uniquely evil because it covers a currently active war. As if there weren't a bajillion military games set in the Middle East during the "War on Terror". picard

They truly have a selective memory.

Further, as spotted by Game Informer, the Ukrainian Centre for Countering Disinformation has already had its eye on Squad 22: ZOV, describing it as "a key element in brainwashing the population, reflecting the Russian government's version of events regarding the invasion of Ukraine and glorifying military service".

Do you think they'd have a statement from whatever the Russian equivalent government org would be if there was a similar Ukrainian game?

There are similar Ukrainian games. Including STALKER 2 which used Azov soldiers as voice actors
