Trivia

iOS conversion

Due to App Store guidelines, the developers found that "Apple are happy for people to uses books as a medium for controversial topics, just not games." They went through three rounds of streamlining in-game text to become vaguer and vaguer before realising that their app would not be cleared for release until the very subject of the Syrian civil war was abstracted out of it. So the game was reskinned as "Endgame: Eurasia", with all specific names replaced with general ones, eg.

* Militants = Mujaheddin or Hezbollah
* Oceania = Lebanon
* Opar = Qatar

The developers provide a complete conversion guide allowing players of the iOS version to understand the secret 6 'o clock news encoded in their version of the game.
