from germany, but aspires to be more than just a game in depth from above the use of play ukrainians full jo, approaching a drawing, the goal to kill russian enemies. the political activists behind the less the evil have the idea to publish a game and assessing to be an external 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. so 2 percent of net proceeds from the game will go towards organizations supporting ukraine to purchase relief codes will not optics equipment for the military. once the game breaks, even 70 percent of the net proceed is, will be donated. the donations will be split between come back alive, an army of drones and demand for aid programs. only the found to use it as political activism. games can of to few games have the potential to be so much more small. it's almost one to express ourselves as articles,

but also as citizens to the end. the game is a kinder statement from a standalone on the ongoing brochure well, 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 ukrainian 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 in a game that is relative and trivial diagnosed. and then of course, this runs the risk of being reduced to an inter time of the product with the items to put up. uh, yeah, for homeless to that 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. special field 1942 hill let loose and many more games to pick the

events of world war 2. the diesel was happening decades ago, which offers some distance into, started from context. yet just from above assessing is in the present and not every one likes that discussions about whether such gains 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 we have the most, so i'll get the ball to me is the next the to the game incisive violence against civilians. the expand stock, good, simple to produce the game like this only shows the situation on the battlefield. police with soldiers against the soldiers. usually nominal. i don't see any problem on the except the side, it will still supply to napoleon. boy you, what were you supposed to go through these quotes in the 5 minutes amount of probably some one in real life. socialist serving and war and always the by choice

and the risk of losing their life 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 desk 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 in the information will between russia in the ukraine to the business of a $100.00 straight. 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, 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
2:51 pm
a part of an ongoing information war stomach getting stand from an influx phones. with the same view, this propaganda positively will not play is need to be aware of it and its impact game is often strongly identify with an appetite and a 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 face 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 paypal, 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 the special contest stress level

from minecraft because it's a game played worldwide by over a 100000000 clients. but at the same time, it's a game available only every country in the world list of unlike any media sources and websites that are unfortunately, since that these, either since yet 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 are now 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 shelby, astonish 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

dan censored library costs the spotlights on the unfortunate fates of people like mister ca, shogi. 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 and 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 turning machines. mckenzie todd, the math 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 the cabinet is anthony found original sub it was to be loved. they would still be over $300000.00 mood libraries in existence. and then even showing me that i am the polls inside of the library. it's a p and the developers of both the uncensored library and games like death from above, a trying to give use of a wake up call. but what means are allowed,
2:55 pm
and what ethical considerations must be taken into account. because even if there may be no intentions behind them, 5th gods need to be in place for younger audiences, for instance. and the developers of the uncensored library have 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 light and it's basically so bruce, um hm. so we added a warning, enabling parents to contact us and if they are around when children are playing, so then we can give some sort of the context or this. i know, i think i know that helps. lucas, i thought meant being censored library from reporters without borders, also manages to avoid depicting violence of the game world itself. for to more games like death from a of what do you crane, shooter, glory to the heroes?

players explicitly have to infect and virtual violence to do 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, or 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 are transported to
