when the i just came vet comes, this couldn't, is i having to change that? yes, but that will come with a time there. linda also sees the dave view of the special olympics new mascot unity, who's multiple unbeatable together. could serve as inspiration for the a mirror. to find that competitive edge that's all your news for now. coming up next, our tech series a shift. looks like computer games, that feature actually wars and current events in their story lines. for that or website. you know, the. com for more needs and analysis. thanks much for watching the guardians of truth. my name is joan dean and i have paid almost every price of being enjoying this in a country like to tease taking on the powers that be they risk every thing

john don't r s activists, journalist and politicians living in exile too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this way because i'm responsible for the future follow country for the people who are behind the bus. people need to know what is happening there in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube, dw documentary game is can play out well since the other people are experiencing the horrors off in real life and death from above. please can fly military drones and slipped into the role of a ukrainian drone pilot. does this help send a message or does it actually just don't say human suffering? what role do games play in the information?

well, that's all a topic on shift this week of the car into the over 3000000000 active game us worldwide. most are in asia and europe . multiplayer shoot just are especially popular where you're battling out with many other places for night veterans and come to strike alone have over 260000000 locked in a month. so the combination of action, jean play and tactics still continues to drop games in, and that's even a small but loyal fan community for shoot us into stark, a wal 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 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 a game. in depth from above, the use of player ukrainian soldier, approaching a, drawing, the gold to kill russian enemies. the political activist behind the list, the evil have the idea to publish a game and assessing the unix task self wants to release games with clear political social intent. the game death from above was developed in cooperation with ukrainian interests. according to the publisher, 30 percent of net proceeds from the game will go towards organizations supporting ukraine to purchase relief, coats will not optics equipment for the ministry. once the game break, steven 70 percent of the net proceeds will be donated. the donations will be split between come back alive, an army of drones on demand for aid programs. only the found to use it as political activism. 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 a clear statement from a standalone on or the ongoing virtual war. and 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, to pick an ongoing war and the game that is relative and trivial diagnosed you. of course, this runs the risk of being reduced to an inter tough product with a headphones portal. uh, yeah. how most of the images are for festival. many people, which is one main stream shoes, a games focused on this topic. cold of juicy blackouts. take place in the vietnam

war, special field 1942, hill let loose, and many more games to pick the events of world war 2. but this 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 so i will get the ball to me as an exposure to the game, incisive violence against civilians. the expect stocker typically. but if the game like this only shows the situation on the battlefield, police with soldiers against the soldiers usually nominate. i don't see any problem on the except the side, it will still supply to in the for the boy you. what were you supposed to go through these quotes in the 5 minutes amount of probably some one in real life

social subbing and was always there by choice and the risk of 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 that's 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 as the humanized. the game plays a role in 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, lots of these efforts. this propaganda we know from everyday life attack can beams, videos, and gifts. for example, in my opinion of this game, joins this culture of making

a part of an ongoing information war. this stomach can stand from an influx phones with the same view, this propaganda positively on note play is need to be aware of it and its impact. game is often strongly identify with an appetite and to motion to engage with its calls. so this could reinforce and to russian sentiment, especially if there's a lack of historical context and experience. and death from above say, is supposed 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 u. s. shooter game counter strike. and that's why journalist from the finish, they didn't use paper helsinki and signed them up, seized the opportunity, and had 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, about the russian war crimes in which an open. but it's hard to know how many russian players have actually found the room sofa instead of a room or building the organization, reports us without borders as put together a whole palace. this i'm sense of library is used to spread access to brand new stories and countries that restrict access to information and internet. it's circumvent 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 consist of over 12000000 blocks. a 24 person team worked on us and invested over 250 hours and the projects 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 world wide by over a 100000000 clients. but at the same time, it's a game available only every country in the world. but of 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 journalist, for the most oppressive countries in the world like russia, egypt or vietnam. so the authors whose work is included here, i've even paid for it with their lives. the saudi arabia wing publications, by janelle shelby, stones critic of crown prince mohammed been summoned in 2018. he was killed in the saturday concepts and stumble. the crown prince denies his involvement to the murder to this day. a

doing censored library cost the spotlights on the unfortunate fates of people like mr. shelby. 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 young, censored 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. i 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 dekalb means anthony found original server was, should be blocked. they would still be up to $300000.00 mood libraries in existence . and then even showing me that i am the polls inside of the library in the developers of both the uncensored library and games like death 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 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 uncensored library had to take special precautions to the van. so um we tried to use contents 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 of this. i know, i think i know that it helps lucas 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 well in the game. but as long as the developers don't inside real life silence, 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. in 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 in historical us operation

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 scaling 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 walking speech recurrent 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
