    Oh, okay, just wanted to make sure.

    Btw I looked up that CEO Peter Tamte and on LinkedIn it says that he works at Victura as CEO since 2016.
    And they don't even have a website or any social media in 4 years, very weird.

    Edit: One additional thing a former project of his, Destineer, actually has a CIA connection according to this article.

    From this interview:

    How did you become involved with In-Q-Tel?

    In-Q-Tel saw the work we were doing for the Marine Corps and inquired about making a substantial investment in the company. This allowed us to expand our training business to begin building training systems for a large number of intelligence agencies.

    How do you go about designing a training simulation?

    It’s really a mixture of both technology and subject matter expertise. Although we have acquired substantial subject matter expertise through our work with the government, we still work very, very closely with soldiers, Marines, intelligence, and law enforcement officers to build in accuracy and training effectiveness.

      Also right after taking this CIA money Destineer acquired Atomic Games, the original developers of Six Days in Fallujah. Peter Tamte then became president/CEO of Atomic Games, leaving Paul Rinde to take over Destineer. This entire thing is extremely suspect.
