(Particularly for some of us who grew up during the latter years of the Cold War when it seemed like this could become Real Life at any moment.) Repeat after me, over and over: "It's Only A Game".Actually: If you look closely, it's a website address.The game's tagline is EVERYBODY DIES, what did you expect?.Millions more will die from radiation, destroyed infrastructure and lack of supplies, starvation, exposure, collapsed society, sudden and violent climate change, and long term medical problems resulting from the incredible nuclear devastation. To think that one war chunked off around 10-14% of the world's 7 billion population is nothing short of horrifying, and that's just the beginning. The end of an average game results in anywhere from 300 million to almost 1 Billion people dead all over the world. Consider that you are bearing witness to the most devastating war humanity has ever experienced."The only winning move is not to play", indeed. Watching cities all around the world, possibly even yours, vanish with dry, clinical tallies of the dead is terrifying. A game that is a Defictionalization of the "Global Thermonuclear War" game from WarGames.
