Molleindustria

Molleindustria is an Italian guerrilla semiotics and culture jamming website that produces flash videogames based on provocative left-wing socio-political points of view, like on topics like labour market flexibility and Queer theory, in explicit opposition with the mainstream video game industry. They feature games like Queer Power, Faith Fighter and the McDonald's Videogame.

In June 2007 the game Operazione: Pretofilia (Operation: Pedopriest), inspired by the controversial BBC documentary Sex Crimes and the Vatican, was removed from the site after a point of order in the Italian Parliament called "Countermeasures to the religions' offences".

In April 2009, Molleindustria initially bowed to complaints from the Organisation of the Islamic Conference by removing Faith Fighter from their site, but later put up a new version that gives the player the choice between a full and a censored version. Molleindustria has later started producing a mock sequel that sarcastically pretends to promote religious pluralism and tolerance. Both games have since been put back on the website.

In September 2011, Molleindustria released a game entitled Phone Story for smartphones that was promptly banned from the Apple iTunes Store. Phone Story focused on what Molleindustira considered the "dark side" of smartphone manufacturing. When Apple banned the game, Molleindustria released the game for the Android market. All the funds raised from the game were donated, and the game is now available for free online.
