Two Bohemia Interactive Developers Detained in Greece on Espionage Charges

Two Bohemia Interactive developers, the studio behind Arma, have been detained on the Greek island of Lemnos and charged with espionage.

Making a military game as authentic as possible means a lot of research and a lot of photos, and for two Czech developers from Bohemia Interactive, that may have landed them in serious trouble. The pair were detained on the Greek island of Lemnos by local authorities and charged with espionage. Bohemia is the studio behind the Arma series, whose island settings are famously modelled on real places. A grim, strange story for the games world to be watching.
