I'm convinced that some games are actually Ender's games. Forklift simulator 2020? You're actually controlling a forklift somewhere in Germany and Hans is now out of work.

And much like in Ender's Game, uncountably many are now dead by my hand.

For those missing the reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forklift_Driver_Klaus_%E2%80%93_The_First_Day_on_the_Job https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forklift_Driver_Klaus_%E2%80... The wiki page is fine, but the video is quite literally Not Safe For Work. My German boss at the chemical company showed the whole team. Kinda gorey but in the Monty Python Black Knight sort of way, and similarly hilarious. Klaus' story is made up but it's based upon thousands of tales written in blood. Definitely gave me an enhanced appreciation for safety culture.

  That's a fun one, but it's about Klaus not Hans. Forklift simulator is a game you can buy: https://store.steampowered.com/app/939450/Forklift_Simulator_2019/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/939450/Forklift_Simulator...

I guess the obvious thing to point out are the multiplayer modes for Call of Duty, Battlefront, Overwatch, etc. Short films have been made about this, and of course Ender's Game.
