My biggest toxic trait is that I still love a good big-budget military shooter despite being immune to army propaganda and having no interest in shooting real guns. Sadly, I'm not immune to Battlefield Studios – pretty much half of EA – cooking with fire and making Battlefield 6 a proper return to form even if the maps we've played so far aren't exactly what we expected.
I'm also fully aware of how bad things are right now all over the world, which makes my enjoyment of such video games... awkward to say the least. I wish armed conflicts taking entire countries apart were relegated to our past and distant fiction, yet here we are.
This time around, EA and Battlefield Studios are trying to shun the inherent politics of modern warfare turned into mass-consumed entertainment by coming up with a PMC villain group they're oddly describing as "cool" and "badass".
