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?

Why does it feel so much like propaganda now but not then?
It felt like propaganda then too, but it was an isolated example and easy to ignore.
So, it's like having a bird shit on your car. Yes, it's annoying, but it's not nearly as bad as having a flock of neo-Marxist pelagornis sandersi shit on it.
