The start of the 21st century marked the beginning of interactive warfare and the birth of
“militainment”, that refers to the presentation of war as an entertainment and the influx of
military discourse into the entertainment sector. As the distinctions between real and media
war become even more hazy, entertainment and spectacle play a bigger part in how conflicts
are portrayed. It is claimed that the war now invites audiences to enter the spectacle as
interactive participants through a variety of channels, from news coverage to online video
games to reality television. The article examines Stahl’s theory on „militainment” and the
logic of spectacle applied to media simulation of armed conflicts. War simulation in video
games is discussed in context of the glamorization of war, which raises numerous concerns
as emotionally engaging games have the potential to have a significant negative impact on
young people’s attitudes towards conflicts.
