Why Italy is not considered in a lot of videogames?

Question

I have noticed that in a lot of videogames there are no things about my country, or there are very few.
For example in Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator there are no Italian planes, I found only some models made by gamers in internet.(In IL-2 there are some italian planes because other very little airforces, Hungary and Finland, used them)
In GT4 there are some Italian cars, but very few(3 fiat, 3 lancia, 5 alfa-romeo, 1 autobianchi), and there are no very famous cars like Ferrari, Maserati or Lamborghini, but there are a lot of japanese never-seen minicars.
Also in a lot of games like Medal of Honour, Call of Duty, Close Combat, there are no missions in Italy, or some characters, or vehicles.(Only Hidden&Dangerous, Blitzkrieg and Panzers2 seem to remember that Italy exists)
Neither Lock-on or Gunship have Italian planes or helicopters.
In Gunship there is Eurocopter Tigre that at that time were not ready for deployment while Italian A.129 was.

Thanks for this information, I played only the first version of Call of Duty, and this means that I have a life, hihi :-)

Yes we lose that war, but also Germany and Japan did, and all axis countries did.

Some were old planes(Cr42, g50), but some were quite good planes (Mc200, S.79, Re2000, Cant.1007) and some were excellent airplanes(Mc205, G55, Re2001-2-5, S.81 or P.108) some also better than allied ones, the problem was their number.

For who said cowards, I say him to study a little.....try read something about Ariete, Folgore, Armir, you will see that the only thing those men had was courage and not much more.

Answer 1

I guess they don't consider it marketable is the only reason. I don't really think of battles, military or even that much action associated with Italy. Instead I think of the geographical beauty and art along with a rich history of such.

Answer 2

There is! Call Of Duty 2 Big red one, italian weapons and soldiers. Mario and Luigi is italian! Be proud as Mario the most recognized video game character has Italian decent.

Answer 3

aren't the Italian planes the one with the hair under the wings ?!

Answer 4

Maybe they don't like your country and want to bomb Italy. LOL Just kidding

Answer 5

crap fighters and cowards,
you lost the war,
maybe that`s the price you pay
for picking the wrong side

Answer 6
