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.
|
Nope, there were people in the ships. That's why Ender wasn't told- they didn't want him to know that thousands of human lives were in his hands, and they didn't want to stop him from making rash decisions to win the battle.

Hey! Spoilers!

Well duh. I know that. I just thought the actually control was automated, not relayed.
