current, the over 3000000000 active game us worldwide, most are in asia and europe. multiplayer, a huge us are especially popular where you're battling out with many other places for night veterans and come to strike and no one has over 260000000 lock in a month. so the combination of action team play and tactics still continues to drop games in, and that's even a small but loyal fan community. so she would just into started a wall scenarios like the 2nd world war. but now even raging was like in ukraine being used as a backdrop to sell games in the game ukrainian find me play a stowaway plan that russian tanks with a tractor as it has happens in real life glory to the heroes targeting and development. sense games, right? into battle ukraine, and that's another special you can walk in from germany. but the spies to be more than just the game in depth from above uses player ukrainians full jo, approaching
2:18 pm
a, drawing, the goal to kill russian enemies. the political activists behind the list the evil have the idea to publish a game and assessing the munich style shelf wants to release games with clear political social intent. the game death from above was developed and cooperation with ukrainian interests according to the publisher. so 2 percent of net proceeds from the game will go towards organization supporting ukraine to purchase release codes, not optics equipment for the ministry. once the game breaks, fees and 70 percent of the net pro is, will be donated. the donations will be split between come back alive, an army of drones on demand for aid programs, only the founder views it is politically collectivism. games can also few games have the potential to do so much more. it's almost one to express ourselves as articles, but also as citizens to the end. the game is
2:19 pm
a clear statement from a standalone on the ongoing brochure. one, ukraine has been made the setting up a realistic game. and this a spot many discussions offsite. the battle field experts, question what impact a game like this will and should have on players? do they identify with ukraine and troops? how does the game affect people's perception of the war? yeah, so the actual, the 1st reaction to this is of course it is perhaps a bit tasteless to depict an ongoing war. and the game that is relatively trivial diagnosed. and then of course, this runs the risk of being reduced to an inter tough product with a headphones poodle. uh, yeah. how most of the images are for facetime? many people, which is one main stream shoes. a games focused on this topic. cold of juicy black op take place in the vietnam war, special field 1942 hill let loose,
2:20 pm
and many more games to pick the events of world war 2. the diesel was happening decades ago, which offers some distance, an historical context. yet dest from above, the session is in the present, and not every one likes that discussions about what the such games the ethical go beyond the online world. people directly affected by the war and you cry and also have different opinions on the mass. so you have the most of all these wonderful to me as an exposure to the game and such and violence against civilians. the expanse stock the produce the game like this and the shows the situation on the battlefield . please with soldiers against the soldiers. usually nominal. i don't see any problem. ali except the dll. but aside it will still supply to the for the boy you what? we're just going to go through these quotes during the 5 minutes amount of probably some one in real life socialist subbing and was always there by choice and their
2:21 pm
risk losing their lives at any moment. so the question is, is it really ok to shoot people in video games, then express opinions on the topic very strongly and, and computer games like death from above the wall. and so one project can be portrayed very positively at the same time. the soldiers on the other side can deliberately be shown if the humanized, the game plays a role and the information will between russia in the ukraine to the business office. i'll try to show you that this is a propaganda getting in touch with you in the actual both sides constantly trying to control public opinion worldwide. most of that work is being done online with misinformation or trying to sway people by appealing to their emotions. tyler, these allied zip, lot of these efforts, this propaganda we know from everyday life attack can mean was videos and gifts. for example, in my opinion of this game, joins this culture are making a part of an ongoing information war. this stomach can stand from an influx phones
2:22 pm
with the same view, this propaganda positively on note play is need to be aware of it and its impact. game is often strongly identified with an appetite and a motion to engage with its calls. so this could reinforce and t russian sentiment, especially if there's a lack of historical context and experience and death from above place, as opposed to get a virtual impression of the war in ukraine and provide financial support for the country. in russia, the was only allowed to be called a special operation, would walk in a still allowed even the us shoot a game counter strike. and that's why journalist from the finish they didn't use paper, housing can sign them up, seized the opportunity and information about the warrant. ukraine, in the game for russian today is to find to do to this. they had a special conscious direct level programmed. what players can conquer a secret room, full of documents and articles, for instance,
2:23 pm
about the russian war crimes in which i end up in. but it's hard to know how many russian players have actually found the room sofa instead of a room or a building. the organization reports us without borders, has put together a whole palace. this on sense of library is used to spread access to ban you stories and countries that restrict access to information and internet. it's circumvents censorship and defense, freedom of press. the project has had a lot of success since it's w in 2020. all virtually in minecraft. this library is virtual and consist of over 12000000 blocks. a $24.00 person team worked on us and invested over 250 hours in the project. they were pursuing won't go to provide free access to information even in countries or censorship generally prevails. they haven't been to mind. we often minecraft, because it's a game played worldwide by over
2:24 pm
a 100000000 clients. but at the same time, it's a game available. only every country in the world that's out, unlike any media sources and websites that are unfortunately, since that these i, that's and yet there are now over $200.00 books in the library, but publications by journalists for the most impressive countries in the world like russia, egypt or do you know some of the authors whose work is included here? i've even paid for it with their lives. the saudi arabia wing publications by janelle and kashodi, a staunch critic of crown prince mohammad been summoned in 2018. he was killed in the saturday concerts and assembled. the crown prince denies his involvement and the murder to this day. a dan censored library cost the spotlights on the unfortunate fates of people like
2:25 pm
mister kashodi. it's constantly being updated the latest additions. our rooms for brazil, the roofs ever trees, and around. what's more, there's no easy way to block the library or take it down. because minecraft, under the uncensored library went on different servers worldwide. the library would probably even survive internet access being blocked, as it has been in the past by us are terry and machines. and mackenzie ta denied is available even offline, meaning you can download it on the campaign website. and the great thing is that players can upload it again themselves. if you let in decap means anthony found original server was, should be blocked. they would still be up to $300000.00 more libraries in existence . and then image showing you that i have the 1000 sites or the library is key and the developers of both the uncensored library and games like desk from above, a trying to give use of a wakeup call. but what means are allowed, and what ethical considerations must be taken into account. because even if there
2:26 pm
may be no but intentions behind them, they've got the need to be in place for younger audiences, for instance. and the developers of the on sense of the library had to take special precautions to the van. so um we tried to use content suitable for young people, humans, but unfortunately it wasn't always possible in certain cases by example to the kids like the war in ukraine, nevada's letter and it's because it is so bruce, i'm home so we added a warning, enabling parents to contact us and if they are around when children are playing, so then we can give them the context or this. i know, i think i know that have boots as i thought meant being censored library from reporters without borders also manages to avoid depicting violence in the game world itself. to more games like death from of, of what do you crane, shooter, glory to the heroes players explicitly have to inflict and virtual violence to do
2:27 pm
well in the game. but as long as the developers don't in site real life finance, they are in compliance with the law. but that doesn't necessarily make their work ethical. the research shows there's still little awareness of such ethical aspects in the gaming industry. in part because the sector is still quite june under game development, time and money are often tight. but researchers say it is important to take into account moral values and development, such as freedom, respect, and human dignity and games based on real life events. the realistic representation effects play an important role. not just for players, but for the people involved and witnesses to new games, 6 days and flu jet temps. this type, real block players are transported to iraq and the 2004 and historical us operation
2:28 pm
against kind of fighters in the city of solution. the developers interviewed over 100 us soldiers and 26 iraqis to give eye witness accounts. but they still faced scathing criticism as the title of focuses on the north american perspective. but the researchers also recommend encouraging ethical game play games like call of duty reward players when they avoid harming civilians. last but not least, developers should also critically examine their own system values. these could also unintentionally get incorporated into a new game. games can to pick real life events with a political, a moral framework, but develop a strip to disclose this fence and the sponsors. what do you think of wall games featuring current events and the use of concealed information in games? send us a message and let us know. that's it for me today by and see you next time the
