WikiLeaks Video Game Hugely Popular
AMSTERDAM, December 14, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
- First WikiLeaks Game Played Over a Million Times Online
Only days after the arrest of Julian Assange and media talks about the
phenomenon WikiLeaks and its editor in chief, the first WikiLeaks video game
popped up.
WikiLeaks: The Game allows players to control Julian Assange trying to
sneak his way through the White House. It attracted a million players during
the first days after release.
Sebastiaan Moeys, producer of the game, shares his surprise about the
popularity of the game: "We didn't plan for this to be a smash hit. We
created it as a sort of joke, a social commentary on a developing story."
"A million plays in just a few days really proves this subject is popular
with many people. We knew the topic was hot, but didn't expect so many
players for a relatively simple game", continues Sebastiaan. "Once bloggers
and press got hold of it though, things went fast. Players were overloading
our servers; we had a really difficult time keeping everything online."
The game is playable via
