George E Osborn talks to Robert Nisbet

Leading game industry expert George E Osborn exposes how dictators, populists and violent extremists are using video games to influence the world around us. Russia is funding the development of video games to promote their world view, Saudi Arabia has acquired one of gaming’s biggest publishers and Steve Bannon used tactics learned from online game communities to propel Donald Trump to the White House. Osborn helps us to understand this new frontier for political influence and sets out what democracies must do to protect play. He talks to former political and foreign correspondent Robert Nisbet, now a partner at the consultancy 5654 & Co.
