You're wrong beyond belief. Of course. It's the same way I think that whenever I watch a TV advert I think, 'Pfft. They spend millions of dollars on a thirty second ad and I don't even remember the name of the product'. You do.

It's probably known from a personal experience for some of you that when you played something like Modern Warfare suddenly you knew something about the Middle East, had knowledge in politics and were professionals in guns. It's the experience, the hype, the fun that you had that burns these memories into your mind.

So yes, if you're a 12 year old that played Modern Warfare, where the Russians were the bad guys with the nukes... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't just stand there and think 'Oh, Russians are lovely'. There's a reason for that 16+/18+ sticker on mature games. A child's psychology is very fragile and builds up on things such as this.
