Re: Battlefield 5 is promoting stolen valor, and I refuse to play it because of it.

Very true, however you're forgetting one crucial thing here: 

Battlefield V is a work of fiction, based on the second world war.

It's not a documentary.

It's (at the end of the day) a video game. In order to make that game sell to the widest audience, regrettably they have to cater for a variety of crowds. If their actions get an extremely negative response they'll tweak it, but making a completely accurate experience that still doesn't play or sell well costs big bucks.  Sure, there are masses of historical inaccuracies within the campaign and multiplayer, however no single world war 2 game or film has ever been historically accurate. Even The Great Escape wasn't completely accurate. 

Also, no Battlefield game has been accurate going right back to the start of the franchise, nor has any war game for that matter. Verdun came close and even promoted itself as being accurate, yet it still wasn't to a high extent a true representation of the events in that particular battle in the great war. 

Sure, the presence of female soldiers has been exaggerated, however within the bounds of WW2 fiction it's plausible. The film Inglourious Basterds was completely inaccurate, and still had elements based on truth mixed with heavy doses of fiction, and still had stellar reviews. 

Don't get me wrong, the game has many problems to iron out and plenty of areas for improvement, however the argument for the title pandering to being more "socially acceptable" simply isn't the case. It's merely diving heavily into the routes of player customisation and exaggerating the true story. 

If i'm honest, it's hilarious you've gone to the extreme of calling it "stolen valour". How exactly does one steal courage and bravery? It's a little extreme a view.
