For me, it has to be Alien: Colonial Marines as it’s terrible due to inconsistent frame rate (moments the game ran smooth and times where lag was insane, even with the best hardware). Both player & enemy AI is crap since the combat wasn’t even that immersive plus Xenomorph AI isn’t as intimidating due to it being poorly implemented.

I mean, atrocities during war or crimes against humanity have been documented for ages but the issue is victims affected wanting to achieve justice: especially those committing them are NOT parties of the ICC nor signatories of the Rome Statute hence why those nations feel entitled “getting away with murder” even though eyewitnesses saw them (boots on the ground) killing innocent people framed on mainstream media as “the enemy”.
The problem is that those types of countries have monopoly over the ICC or equivalent bodies, as in “don’t you dare mess with us and we’ll place sanctions or invade your homeland” type blackmail explaining why they often get pushed under the rug despite countless testimonies from witnesses and recorded recounts from those who saw it. A normal criminal lawyer can’t fight against this type of murder case in court since it’s the government.
The only “solution” for victims to really sue (via a UN like body) is to have their leader (president?) be their attorney condemning the invading nation as “your troops murdered my countrymen / women!” but issues from that exist too: those nations are permanent members of the security council meaning they have veto power rescinding any claims or “potential charges” & “accusations of wrongdoing” meaning they got away with murder.
Normal authorities can’t really touch those types of perpetrators (bureaucrats & politicians) but the “closest” thing to achieving justice is arresting the individuals (soldiers?) on the ground who partook in it via court martial. However even getting to that level is hard as hell for a civilian who’s victimized or lost their loved ones due to them being murdered by these people. However, if it’s a PMC who’s responsible: don’t get your hopes up.
Mercenaries by definition are hired to kill on behalf of a private firm for profit while soldiers are affiliated with an armed service on behalf of a nation who comply with orders, so there’s a difference between the two which influences the criteria the rules of war apply to (since they were written specifically for a standing army but excludes PMC’s) hence why often or not it’s mercenaries murdering people rather than those in uniform.
The dangerous part is getting eyewitnesses to speak up: since they can be assassinated for “snitching” as that does happen or eyewitnesses face threats from the perpetrators of either being imprisoned for treason or espionage hence why they scared on calling out their wrongdoings since the government is the perpetrator / murderer / abettor. But, is conducting a raid to commit atrocities (genocide?) the same as intentional murder?
The only “way” in a form or another to achieve a small sense of justice or awareness of these crimes on a societal level is to campaign against said conflict initiated by the government (i.e. partaking in anti war demonstrations) and there are historical examples of it: Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Even though word of mouth alone carries barely any effect, you need collab with those who fought in it (veterans) to share the true horrors.
In most cases, like with anything political: there’s propaganda used to sell a controlled narrative or to influence people’s perception of what the government is doing by making an excuse (i.e. the invasion of Iraq was sold under “Hussein has WMD’s” but no proof was found, since the truth is that Bush wants to defend his own interests: OIL). So, you will need counter-media to de-brainwash people into believing the lies being told to them.
I mean, do Swiss ATMs disperse that denomination specifically? Do stores even accept them for normal purchases? I know that it’s one of the highest valued bank notes but does an average joe in Switzerland have that in their wallet? If it’s rare in circulation or barely used for transactions: then why is it still being printed?
The scenario is this: the murder took place in 1950 (when the internet was non existent at all) and the perpetrator is alive but at 105 years old meaning he would’ve been around 29 when they killed someone but back then there’s no CCTV or forensic evidence, so the case went cold.
Now, with social media: although limited, the only way is a live streamed confession from his death bed at a nursing home for a crime he’s committed from a previous generation (76 years ago) admitting to their Gen Z grandchildren they killed an innocent person.
However, the evidence is expired as the body has decomposed long ago, all potential forensic clues are lost for eternity. The victim’s family is deceased as this happened long ago, the only ones alive are the victim’s grandchildren and descendants whom one can speak to.
The perpetrator is now someone’s grandpa, however since this occurred before Gen Z were born (they can only read archived files from that era and work with that). Since there was no social media when the murder took place, you only have his confession video recorded today.
Even with him confessing that he murdered someone that long ago: should he still serve time in prison despite him now being a gray haired old man who looks like he could be your grandfather? Knowing that he’ll pass away soon enough, is it even worth a prison sentence?
Karmic justice isn’t the “legal” route (more on spiritual) since it’s more on using God’s will to condemn sinners, letting life spin it’s wheel of fortune or rolling a dice not knowing where it’ll land. The scenario is this: the perpetrator has gotten away with murdering someone (either due to his status or money) despite forensic evidence being present and found “not guilty” even though eyewitnesses said the perpetrator was at the crime scene.
This is NOT a topic about vigilatism (as in killing or beating the perpetrator out in the street by a gang of people): as it’s closer to luck or probability whether sudden events will occur regardless if one remains skeptical, indifferent or a true believer. The goal of karmic condemnation is more on reigning “bad omen” (anticipating bad luck) towards the individual (i.e. the perpetrator’s spouse dies from a heart attack, he’s sad on losing his wife).
You’re not doing anything from your end, instead it’s the work of life itself or God punishing the perpetrator indirectly (such as business decline overtime if they owned corporations, sudden health issues despite being healthy, terminal illness killing their spouse or children, natrual disaster destroying everything they once bought & insurance denial, the perpetrator being given the 10 plagues treatment reigned upon by the lord for murder).
The scenario is: you are handed 10,000 CHF in cash. Will you take it or refuse? Although, this is A LOT of money: are you allowed to accept it at face value? For example, in the USA - you end up receiving more due to currency exchange.
