Perhaps it would be good to have the 'real' political discussion areas there but minimized and moved down on the page so that a viewer has to work a bit to get to that discussion, meanwhile include a more prominent and featured area that links to forums discussing the game.
Something like this (excuse crude text drawing please)
+-----------------------------+
| Banners, etc. |
| Reviewer comments/marketing materials |
| Pictures/etc. |
| -------separator------------|
|What gamers are saying about the game (link to forums/messages)|
|More banners linking to other Stardock products/games|
+------------------------------+
| smaller area with header noting What's going on in real-world politics |
| less prominent links to various JU political forums... |
+--------------------------------+
Hopefully that makes some sense. Again, apologies for crudeness of note.
