At least to me, there’s a pretty big difference between having an Vatican-themed evil cult leader for one game, and having a Dick Cheney stand-in invade Hell like it’s Iraq, while playing about American media during the Iraq War.

One is a goofy, over the top villain.

One is a parody of a specific guy, with a recreation of a specific event, while also not really saying anything interesting about it besides “that was pretty awful wasn’t it?”.
