The idea of gamers actually controlling/affecting real people in games has been around for a while in books such Ender's Game/Shadow and in TV shows (I just remembered Reboot).

Hey LtNK, did you ever read either of those Orson Scott Card books?

Not in that sense. It was just presented as a game, but the soldiers recieved orders and obeyed them.

Really?  I was always under the impression that the ships were in fact being directly controlled and manipulated.  Maybe I should reread them.
