As an example, you see with certain countries, they censor things that are subversive. Islamic countries will remove gay stuff as they should.
So that brings me to things like Red Dead Redemption. The first Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video games of all time. I also recognize it as utterly subversive.
I love it for the gameplay and skip the cutscenes, but if you don't skip the cutscenes, it's clear that Rockstar was trying to shine their leftist garbage values onto the American cowboy mythos.
What do you do if you're in charge of America? Have the script rewritten and the dialogue redone/revoiced, leave it be, etc?
I'm of the mind that we had the right idea in the 1950s where we opposed subversive communistic/marxist messages in entertainment. If they wanted to get away with it, they had to be subtle enough that most people wouldn't pick up on it back then.
That said, what is and isn't subversive? Is Max Payne subversive? In the first game, I don't notice any subversive bullcrap, but to someone else who considers anything darker and bleaker than the Andy Griffith show to be destructive to the American spirit, Max Payne would be subversive to them.
What's your opinion?
If we assume that the dictator controls production then you need to centralize game development using allies of the state that would review and finally allow a game to be publish. Meaning you enforce what not to make rather then what to make.
I would make sure that the game does not encourage degeneracy - since that is counterproductive to a good functional state, not allow to portray being lazy as a good character trait for the same reason, classic gender roles - women being feminin and men being stoic and willing to sacrifice (we need this in case we go to war), having kids and being a parent is seen as fulfillment in life rather then what ever feminists think and of course make sure that if the game involved the country or me, it is always in a positive light.
The better question, do you allow videogames in the dictatorship? If we're talking about maxing productivity of the population, I would probably allow just fighting and sport games. Nothing that is to addictive.
At the end of the day you want your subjects to marry, socialize, have productive lives, kids and be happy to be under the dictatorship. Kids also benefit from playing outside with other kids.
