People Are Using Wplace For Video Game-Related Protests
In a collaborative pixel art platform called Wplace, inspired by Reddit's r/place, users have been creating images related to video games as a form of protest. For instance, the location of Riot Games' headquarters in Santa Monica has been targeted with a large art piece accompanied by the message "#SaveHytale" and the Hytale logo, protesting the cancellation of the Minecraft-inspired sandbox game. Similarly, Dragon Age fans have taken over the Scottish town of Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, sharing the same name as the city in Dragon Age 2, with pixel art of Dragon Age fan art and "F--k EA" messages, protesting reports that proposals for a remaster of the Dragon Age Trilogy had been rejected by the publisher. Wplace allows users to paint on a world map made up of four trillion pixels, with a limit of 30 pixels per user, which replenishes at a rate of 1 pixel every 30 seconds.
