These games are explicitly military recruitment tools

i will say that everything else here is correct but the 4 part is just. it’s just a stylized version of the number 4 in korean (사)

Just bumping this to the top because I don't want to spread misinfo I still think it's stylized in a way that looks like two hitos that are yellow, but I said that it *is* that so I just want to amend it to say I can't claim intention there but it looked like that to me & caused a visceral reaction

This is the ad that kicked this whole thing off for me. It fictionalizes a western imperialist fantasy, a modern invasion by North Korea. And if you look at the 4, it's a made up orientalist font composed of two Japanese 'hito (person)' characters. Oh and they are yellow.

This is definitely a thing military ads are doing on purpose. They are explicitly gameifying depictions of deadly operations in commercials.
