8:19 pm
but also as citizens to the end. the game is a clear statement from a standalone on the ongoing brochure war. and ukraine has been made the setting up a realistic game. and this a spot many discussions offsite. the best of 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? so the actual, the 1st reaction to this is of course it is perhaps a bit tasteless to depict an ongoing war and a game that is relative and trivial diagnosed. and then of course, this runs the risk of being reduced to an inter touch product with the headphones portal you off the homeless to the images of war, facetime, many people, which is one main stream, shoots of games focus on this topic. cold of juicy blackouts. take place in the vietnam war,

lives at any moment. so the question is, is it really ok to shoot of 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 it should be in the actual will 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, most of these efforts this propaganda we know from everyday life attack can means videos and gifts. for example, in my opinion of this game, joins this culture off making a part of an ongoing information war. this stomach can stand from an influx phones

a 100000000 clients. but at the same time, it's a game available only every country in the world. but unlike any media sources, websites that are unfortunately, since that these i, that's cynthia is, are now over $200.00 books in the library, but publications by journalists for the most oppressive countries in the world like russia, egypt, or vietnam. some of the authors whose work is included here, i've even paid for it with their lives. the saudi arabia wing publications by general kashodi, a staunch critic of crown prince mohammed, been summoned in 2018. he was killed in the saturday concerts and assembled. the crown prince denies his involvement to the murder to this day. a

do well in the game. but as long as the developers don't inside 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. in games based on real life events. the realistic representation of facts 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 have transport it to a rock and the 2004 and historical us operation against our kind of fighters in the
