A rough guide of where all the bad guys come from (in video games)

A funny infographic we have here, and although some might call it a very bias one, it’s still a good read. Complex sat down with a number of recent shooters and plotted where on the map the game’s villains (or at least opposing force) came from. And, this may shock you, but they nearly all came from former communist states, communist states or the developing world. The only real exception to this was Germany, but that was including a game set in the Second World War, so that one doesn’t count.
To be fair, most of the games are developed in the US, and they’ll usually idolize themselves as the superhero or the good guys. Games being listed are those from 2001 to the latest 2011, which means about 10 years, but they’re more towards first person shooter games. Some of the games are not listed too, and to me the real bad guys in Modern Warfare 2 are Americans. So it’s not a very accurate portrait of the bad guys in video games.
