In “Endgame” the Berlin based group machina eX takes to the battlefield of the digital civil war. The focus is on a hip start-up with a goal no less ambitious than to defend democracy. The enterprise – a forceful mixture of NGO, private investigation agency and hacking collective – battles against an increasingly self-confident neo-right-wing movement, which uses contemporary marketing strategies to amass a growing swarm of followers. 30 players are tasked with researching the backgrounds of potential members. Depending on the quality ofthe information collected, not only individual people can be indicated, but the entire movement can be debilitated. Players are supported by charismatic teamleaders, who are engaged in net-based anti-right-wing resistance for a wide variety of motives. The game shines a light on the internet’s dark battle zones, where the questions of who gets to interpret, who gets heard, and how it all should be done are constantly and intensely being grappled over.
