I played this game when it was new, knew nothing about it. When I came to the white phosphor bombing mission my first thought was "great a lot of targets in that corner", but my 2nd one was "it makes no sense for them to huddle up in there like that, since everyone else was running around trying not to die".
I tried to leave the screen and stop bombing things, but the game didn't like that. I carefully bombed everything except the civilians - wasn't enough. I inched closer to them, they lit up in flames and the game went on about how I'm a bad person for doing that.
That combined with the fact that every other "decision" you make in this game is just as fake makes the moral grandstanding of game and its developer nothing but masturbatory. And going online afterwards to see all the people praising the game was enough to make me quote Dota 2's Invoker.
