Should games in the future have a political message in them?

Yes.  FOX News should buy Activision and make all future COD games. 
 
Nothing bad will come of it.

It's already there in the generic PMC stuff that's used to avoid any criticism surrounding current events.

No thanks. I don't want a bunch of dudes that have nothing to do with video games "tell me what to think".

" Yes.  FOX News should buy Activision and make all future COD games.  Nothing bad will come of it. "

Game creators should feel free to put what they want in the games.  Just stay away from the preachy stuff, and not every game needs it.

How about.  If done well sure.

Yep. I'm fine with it. Should they put it in? Only if they feel like it.

" How about.  If done well sure. "

They can put a political message in if they want. Just like books, just like movies.
 
Now...if it should be ham fisted into every game is another story all together.

" It's already there in the generic PMC stuff that's used to avoid any criticism surrounding current events. "

The only political message I tolerate in my games is when the FBI tells me "Winners Don't Use Drugs".

If it's relevant in some way, like BioShock, then why the hell not? Just don't stuff it into Tetris, damn you. It's already bad enough to know about the man who arranges the blocks that continue to fall from up above.

Should people other than Irrational Games and Rockstar put political messages in games? No, because I know damn well they'll screw it up royally. Or make it incredibly and stupidly complicated and long winded, I'm looking at you MGS!

Overhearing the latin guitar coming through the wall, the impossibly hamfisted political message about oil in Just Cause 2 is obscenely bad. It's like Rock Against Bush decided to make a game 7 years too late.

I don't like people telling me how to vote (Like Healthcare is BAD! Or CEOs are EVIL!) but regardless of which side the message is coming from I like perspective and depth added to my games.
