Battlefield V looks like a fun Battlefield game set in World War II—the historical era that defined the franchise. But after publisher Electronic Arts announced the game, fans took to the internet to complain about it, as video game fans often do. The problem has gotten so bad that the mods of /r/battlefield have added a rule to prevent people complaining about historical accuracy in the game and relegated discussions of the topic to its own thread.

The mods seem serious. “We're done, its over,” they said in the post announcing the change. “New rule: No more bitching about historical accuracy, it's a game, not a history book. Violations will have consequences.” Then people started complaining that the mods were paid shills of EA. As of this writing there’s still plenty of threads complaining about historical accuracy in the main Reddit, though many holdovers from days ago.
