This is definetly going to be a video game - unless you filter for the players who are actually any good.

If you just let anyone control the actual drones - it'll cause a lot of trouble.

Maybe they can use it as part of training data for some computer-vision AI replacement to drone operators.

They could also use the game executable to install a botnet on gamer's computers for cyber-operations.

A bunch of Russians would log in and blow up the Ukrainian drone launchers and infrastructure

So just Ender's Game?

there's precisely 0% chance they let steam randos do a Virtual-On 9/11 to the ukranian capitol or whatever

Ukraine isn't running short of drone operators, it's running short of cannon fodder

I wonder if you can fly the drone into your own command unit

this could be cool but only if you got to play as hezbollah or ansar allah

:ender-tired:

My "I can be trusted with a Ukrainian fpv drone" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Does it use Denuvo?

It's just a video game. You can watch playthroughs on youtubes

Stargate's episode "The Other Side" (S4E2) comes to mind. Especially because it's also about drone pilots, and they unwittingly help the fascists until they realize what's up, upon which they pilot the drone to destroy the HQ.

The fascist leader is one of the few instances to get intentionally vaporized by the Stargate's iris.

I know wargaming is nothing new but did people ordinarily churn out war-related content while the war is still happening?

Russia gifts DarkSydePhil a copy and completely depletes Ukraine's drone supply within hours

Manhack Arcade?

Free drone swarm.
