    It's literally a CIA front from 1999 lol, but yeah this game has always had CIA ties in terms of its developers from the beginning. 99% chance it's being astroturfed by the CIA again to try whitewash the war crimes in Iraq.

      Oh absolutely. Just like how CoD has ties with the pentagon and shit. Pretty much any american media about war has the military's fingerprints on it.

        But this is the unique situation in which the CEO has openly admitted to taking CIA cash right after purchasing the rights to another game and their studio and electing himself CEO/president of that studio. Here's a quote from Peter Tamte about working with the CIA in 2005:

        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.

        :illuminati: but unironically
