@popdetective: Right-wing politicians have been cynically referencing video games in their propaganda. But the “Games Transformed Festival” in London is creating a space where games are instead used to foster solidarity, do political organizing, and build a better world. The Games Transformed Festival will be held in East London between Oct 30th - Nov 1st 2026. #videogames #indiegames #boardgaming #Halo #gta6
Can’t they get sued by the game companies they are “parodying”?

the crazy thing is they'd ban video games in a second if they had unregulated power.

I think they realized they can’t just hate video games anymore so they’re trying to take them over and make them cool to their base

It’s so obvious that they’re trying to like use it as a shield to be like hey, your favorite video game characters would agree with us. When like if you know anything about the video games they’re talking about most of them would not agree despite their insistent pushing that they would maybe the villains but even then they like that defeats the point so you’re telling me the villains of the video game would agree with you, but the heroes wouldn’t that doesn’t make you any more trustworthy anyways I think they’re just stupid

Have you seen other examples of the far-right using gaming references or memes in propaganda? If so where and what games?

Steve Bannon honed his skills many many years ago in World of Warcraft when he realised how easy it was to manipulate young gamers in an mmo. Astounding to think is was a shitty gold seller in wow at one point.

Suddenly, video game companies can't sue, but when we tried to make these games better, we got sued instantly.
