It spans from indignation to rage. Not wanting to see a group get recognition for WWII fits somewhere in that spectrum.

It shouldn't have upset you that they announced that even for commercial reason. It doens't diminish the experience or tarnish names in them doing so. On the contrary, it just informs people that usually don't see certain gropus get represented, get their stories told for once or rarely in that scenario.

So, I'm not disagreeing that it shouldn't be portrayed, I don't care enough about it to be "upset" in any kind. But what you said doesn't make any sense. They wouldn't be portrayed, because those groups were marginal. The point is that including those groups diminishes the recognition of the vast majority of soldiers, because the depiction is disproportionate.

Does it really dimishes the recognition of other WWII stories to make a game about 82nd Airborne feats?

How many movies and books are there about D-Day, Patton (a single man), 82nd, 1st ID, etc... how would a recount from a different perspective take away the recognition of the rest that fought?
