Games as social commentary

Below, a screenshot from the Molle Industriawww.molleindustria.org game Leaky Worldwww.molleindustria.org, a “playable theory” — loosely based on Jullian Assange’s original essay on the apologetics of information transparency.

From the same series we have strategy game Oiligarchywww.molleindustria.org (for aspiring State Department employees one guesses) and the spare and haunting game Every Day the Same Dream aboutwww.molleindustria.org, well, the genetically engineered end-of-the-world (the music is especially beautiful). To top it off the Catholic Churchwww.molleindustria.org and McDonaldswww.mcvideogame.com also come in for some delightful playable satire.
