You know there was a game series called ~~Bad Company~~ Mercenaries that forced you to see consequences of actual choices impacting lives and battlefields.

Sort of the unsarcastic version of the prompt here.

Like all modern works of art, the publishers killed it because it wasn't making as much money as cheap braindead titles for kids.

EDIT: I was thinking of Mercenaries and Mercenaries 2, sorry had my PS2 era shooters mixed up.

I think Bad Company is the comedy one. Maybe Spec Ops: The Line?

Oof. Spec Ops. “Are we the baddies?”: The Game

Tap for spoiler

Yes. We are very much the baddies.
