Pandemic describes "Mercenaries 2" as "an explosive open-world action game" in which "a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply,
sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone." The company says players take on the role of well-armed mercenaries.
At first I thought the power hungry tyrant was the US, but they intend to mean Hugo.
It's propagandistic slander if they portray Chavez as a tyrant.
Ask the Venezuelan people if they think he is a tyrant.
We all know who the tyrant is, and the tyrant is a master of thought manipulation.
The age range these games are targeted to is the perfect age to market brand loyalty to, like beer, blue jeans, even one's point of view on world
issues. Seeing how some people think on these boards, propaganda works, and works real good and I think Hugo Chavez is right to suspect he's a victim
of negative thought perception.
George Bush = good , Hugo Chavez = bad
It's all about who one percieves one to be, in America you are taught that you are good and virtuous, by default that makes those who drum a
different beat, bad folks. Especially if your prez sez so.
Video games are a big market and IMO politics and propaganda to impressionable young minds is mental manipulation and thought perception management
and I think Hugo has a right to be concerned.
What if a game made good ole' USA look bad, what then?
Just keep a lookout for propaganda shrink wrapped as entertainment and realise it's someones opinion made fun to program thinking with.
I saw this coming with video games, I saw it coming
Hugo for all we know could be the second coming of the Christ, it's possible, think about it. (not that I am religious and stuff, but...)
Learn more about Hugo Chavez folks, he could be the catalyst that brings the world out of indentured servitude to the corporations.
