Videogame war is fun. Real war is hell. It's a distinction that Arma 3 studio Bohemia Interactive seems anxious to make with the addition of a new and unique prize to its "Make Arma, Not War" content creation contest: the company will send a lucky winner to a conflict zone on a humanitarian mission providing aid to people displaced or harmed by the ravages of war.
"As part of their collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Bohemia Interactive will also be handing out the Health Care in Danger Special Award," the contest website states. "Given to the entry which covers the topic of ‘health care in danger’ the best, the winner(s) will go on a one-week trip to an ICRC mission in a foreign country, organized by the ICRC."
War tourism as a competition prize, classy.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

Do I get to use a gun when the convoy is attacked?
Also imagine all the possible Facebook selfies! And you might even get to help people!

I don't know man. It might give your typical clueless gamers some news under their nose about the real world. I doubt they'll be near a combat zone. The article even says helping those displaced so I'd imagine it'll be in a bordering country.
