The way I see it, video games are an area either outside of morality or with their own morality.
Like I enjoy war games. In CK3, I invade and push my religion and culture to try to make the map all one colour ruled by preferably me, but if not me then preferably my dynasty, and if not that then preferably my religion. If a rebellion or heresy starts, I try to stamp it out ASAP.
Anyone who does any of that in real life is fucking evil.
Lots of games have very flimsy motivations for the conflicts. X race hates y race is so common in fantasy games, generally unchallenged, too.
In shooters, most are "you follow your orders or you lose". Even the ones that explore the whole moral side of actions will usually make you do the questionable stuff so your character can question it later.
