TLDR:
“Actually, we got a message from the UN asking if we want to talk, in some form, about psychological defense against manipulation,” added Pilestedt. This might all sound like the game is getting a little too real, but he said the key was in finding the right tone and using the imagery in an almost educational way: “We do it all in fun and good spirits, and we actually try to get people to recognize the science of what is a totalitarian state. If you start wearing the same uniform as everybody else and do salutes constantly, you might be in a totalitarian regime.”
Super interesting. I feel so weird playing this game right now with all that is going on in the world.
If you recognize it as satire, then I think you have nothing to worry about. If you view it as a goal…
I get the satire, but it’s more like the game is all about “saving democracy” and here we are just sitting around playing a game. We should be really fucking saving democracy right now.
Gimme that sweet 500kg IRL and democracy will be saved in 3 days
Oh in that respect understandable lol
I feel you. My job feels pointless, I just want to yell at the whole company that we should stop and go protest or something… But IDK if that would even do anything
