Would you play an Israel/Palestine FPS? - Hackers - Mar 2, 2026
Just curious - would you play an Israel/Palestine themed shooter? I am no longer a gamer and was never into FPS too much except for when I was younger. I probably wouldn't play it, but I imagine someone will make it in time.
What would be interesting is how the sides are portrayed. Would it be fair & equally portrayed, or one sided? I guess it depends on who makes it.
I have a feeling it would be too unhinged of a topic to even consider right now, but like all things in time, people lose the emotional aspect and are happy to play war games that replicate scenarios in which thousands have died. For that reason, I imagine we'll see this war play out in the console world or on Steam at some point in the future.

I used to really love FPS games like Counter-Strike, Point Blank, and PUBG. Now I prefer MMORPGs like Lineage II, but I don’t have time to play games anymore :(

Im waiting for Drones.. new FPS!
And the game your talking about would be like me playing COD with dummies set to amateur. Not much of a challenge, I prefer more fair war play.

I wouldn't. I've never been into these kind of games. Obviously, Iran would be ridiculed and demonized in such a game. I also find it interesting that a lot of people can't tell the difference between video games and real war footage. We've seen gameplay from video games used as war footage in Ukraine and elsewhere.

I don't have any interest to play a FPS in that setting. I don't play a ton of FPSs though so maybe not that strong of a statement.

I think it would be a very sensitive topic to turn into a game, especially while the conflict is still ongoing. How it’s portrayed would matter a lot, and it would likely be controversial no matter what. Personally, I feel some real-world conflicts are too recent and emotional to be adapted into entertainment.
