Facepalm: It seems that wherever there is war in the world, there will also be clips of video games that people claim are real footage. Once again, this form of propaganda involves old favorites Arma 3 and War Thunder, with the Middle East conflict helping increase the spread.
WTF?! Footage of video games purporting to be real-life incidents, particular those from conflicts, is far from a new phenomenon. The practice has been increasing this year following the war in Ukraine, and it's often Arma 3 gameplay that's used as the fake footage. Now, developer Bohemia Interactive has addressed the circulation of these videos and explained how to tell real clips from fakes.
