Overview
- The three arcade cabinets at the DC War Memorial, which went up Monday, run a free game called Operation Epic Furious: Strait To Hell and are slated to remain only a few days, with a browser version live.
- Photos on Tuesday showed National Guard members playing the machines, and the artists confirmed the images’ authenticity to USA Today.
- Players control Trump in an unwinnable quest with choices like ordering a Diet Coke or invading Iran, and asking to hold Melania’s hand ends the game.
- A plaque beside the machines accuses the administration of gamifying the conflict, and the group says it built the game in response to official posts that splice strike footage with clips from Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and films.
- The White House did not provide an immediate comment in coverage published Monday through Wednesday.
