CMV: There is no reason for me to care about historical accuracy in video games

Art is a medium where the artist can do what they want. Video games are usually a space for the creator to simply make a fun video game. If someone wants to make a ww2 game, and pull a crazy alternate history type spin on it and have robots and lasers ie. Wolfenstein, that's totally cool. 

These decisions will have no impact on my life, and are largely unimportant. There is no reason for me to get upset at a historical inconsistency in a video game, within a series that has never consistently purported to be an absolutely realistic rendition of a historical event. 

Why should I care? Why should I be upset about historical inaccuracies in video games?

I think it has nothing to with the medium, just the framing. If you frame your game / movie / novel as a crazy alternative history spin on some time period or event (like Wolfenstein or Inglorious Basterds did), that's fine. But if you claim you try to adhere to historical accuracy, you can't just blatantly change parts of history just because they don't suit your worldview, because your work becomes part of the modern corpus describing the historical event or time period, and people expect to get a sense of what it was like coming into it.
