I've started playing & streaming Cities: Skyline as part of my campaing for our upcoming local elections (In Tampere which happens to be the home of Colossal order as well! 
.
I was curious, do you guys know if this has been done somewhere else as well? Or do you know of other instances of using playing and/or streaming games as part of politics?
This a very interesting question for me (as a researcher of games) since I consider playing games as part of my generations "waste of time" rebellion, and since that gaming has evolved into massive cultural phenomenon, huge business and now as means for politics as well
