I was replaying Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura game recently after some years and I noticed it had modern day politics for the time the game was made. Intolerance against orcs or how industrialization has led to deforestation and pollution.I still enjoyed it and I found this topics to enhance the game. If politics has always been in games then why does it bother me so much now, what actually changed?

Their propaganda was better back then. After the rise of identity politics, a lot of people got involved in propaganda. Those people were the ones easily manipulated by identity politics, so they are the very stupid ones. They eventually vastly outnumbered legacy propagandists and lazily inserted their views into everything rather than build it into the work.
