| rdfs:label | - Video Game Historical Revisionism
|
| rdfs:comment | - The practice of misrepresenting facts in an historical setting, even when it would make no change to gameplay to be true to history. Games set during World War II are especially prone to this. Sometimes this is due to mere ignorance on part of the developers, other times it is deliberate distortion to express a political agenda or appeal to a certain market, in certain cases it could be just for simplicity, and in yet other cases it is a consequence of censorship laws prohibiting displaying certain emblems or referencing certain facts. No Swastikas is a specific example of this.
