In all seriousness, that movie has absolutely inspired hackers and data-activists the world over, including the notorious donk_enby when they downloaded 30 terabytes of information from Parler using the referential name “crash override.” It’s a thrilling rush to feel like a hacker, but it’s a lot safer when you’re playing out your fantasies in game form.Įnter Midnight Protocol, a game about a doxxed hacker seeking not revenge, but answers. I know for a fact it’s compelled me to say “I’m in” when I login to any of my accounts because LET ME DREAM. … which sort of throws the entire idea of considered moral choice as entertainment out the window, doesn’t it?Īs thrilling as it is to be a gamer right now, it must be exponentially more thrilling to actually be making the games, helping to define the medium.The 1995 cult cinematic classic Hackers made a lasting impression on those who loved the idea of solving cyber-conspiracies.
