I mean, the U.S military lends conditional support (I;e, provides equipment, funds and footage) to all sorts of films. Marvel movies being fairly good examples of this in general. Obviously, I’m just speculating and half-joking but It’s naive to think that doesn’t happen with video games as well to some extent.
Why? I mean it’s not COD but it absolutely has themes( that are often played out satirically tbf, but equally fetishistically in my opinion) of 50’s nostalgia, cold war paranoia and xenophobia, and violence as a means to a end. Not to mention anti-communism.
How?

I mean, perhaps with some video games, but I think it’s unlikely for Fallout, of all things.

Have you played the games?
Yes. ALL of them.
