Wikileaks Games 2011
Prepare a collection of games based on Wikileaks
The Wikileaks case is becoming one of the hottest topics of the news from around the world. It seems that has finally crossed the line of what is allowed and what is not on the Internet. After years in which many pages have tested the ethics of global network with piracy, pornography, fascist ideology, xenophobia … until you have touched their noses to the U.S. government and its intelligence network have not taken action on the matter. In recent weeks, have cut off all funding sources of the site, has pressured agencies such as VISA, Master Card or Paypal not to allow donations to its creator, has pressured the hosting server to override the domain and has been in search and capture Julian Assange, the man behind the website that published the leak of secret documents.

At the moment, even the denial of service attacks have gotten more violent end to the more than 1,200 mirrors that exist on the web. But nevertheless, the case and promises to set a precedent in the history of the Net’s proclaimed neutrality of the network has been watered down following the actions taken by different governments. In the end, companies that base their business on the internet has to stop reporting to the state that protects them.
However, in this blog we are interested in video games, so let’s get back to business. It Vandal I have read in several independent developers are developing a game based on some of the most interesting documents to Wikileaks. The title is called “Wikileaks Stories” and it seems to be a collection of minigames inspired by each story. Not yet know the number of games that include the collection, but one of its creators has announced that anyone can join the initiative to show their support for Wikileaks.
Who knows. If you end up knocking over the web, some of the most striking cases could linger in video game form and distributed through P2P networks. Anyone is encouraged to make a game set in the gossip surrounding our government and the U.S. embassy? Sure, the subject is a good time to have fun.
