It seems that Bethesda's upcoming Wolfenstein II is generating lots of controversy including the Newsweek headline story that begins:
According to the Newsweek article, a promo video linked on Twitter showing, "heavily armored, mask-wearing, jackbooted soldiers marching through the streets," and including text reading "Not my America," produced the result that "a certain subgroup of folks got angry online with the game-maker, Bethesda Softworks".
A spread in Rolling Stone, calls 'Wolfenstein II' a "Nazi-American Sitcom" and says the game "has several disturbing, fully realized television shows embedded within it -– all viewable in televisions spread throughout the fictional towns"
Here's a clip, "I'm still going to have to inform on you!" taken from the Rolling Stone spread:
Wolfenstein II releases October 27.
