"It's always sensitive to make a game about war," Bach conceded. "You aim a gun at something that looks like people and you fire. We see it from two perspectives: one, it's a game; it's Chess. Chess is about war; the context is about war in a very crude way, and you use that context to create drama in that type of gameplay. It's that hunter/killer gameplay put into context." That need to provide an entertaining experience is ultimately what shapes the narrative, according to Bach. "On the other hand, it's entertainment. It's entertainment media like literature or movies or a TV series. We want to create entertainment and we want to entertain you – and we do that in the context of war."
