“Historically it’s always been easier to fight wars that people support,” B said. “What Stellaxis did is genius. The SecOps operatives put a face on it. Twelve faces. With trading-card stats and action figures and t-shirts and fame. You can root for them in a way you won’t root for a mech or a smart bomb or a grenade. You care about them.”
I feel like I've seen this in other media. That shitty airplane anime I watched once, etc.
Definitely feels legit though. Armies would have livestreams now if they could keep the operatives alive and, y'know, not show warcrimes.
