Microsoft tied to Terrorism and Piracy? or Video Games Saved My Life or Defeating Al-Shabab One Playstation at a Time
The Guardian published a mildly amusing article last week: Somalia video games boom dents al-Shabaab recruitment. To think, DoD has been racking its brain trying to squash Shabaab and piracy and all they needed was Playstations!
So an obvious question arises (biensur): does Microsoft (Xbox) support terrorism and piracy?
It seems obvious that they must. Both Nintendo and Playstations are mentioned as being used by Somali youths, yet Xbox is conspicuously absent. I will follow this closely to see if Microsoft will come out officially and on the record as being against terrorism.
I think a good start would be for Microsoft to air drop a few thousand

My favorite quote:
"Many of my friends are unlucky and have taken part in the violence in the country. Some of them have died. Others are carrying guns around. In some ways, video games have saved my life," Ali Abdi said.
