Arma III Developers Arrested In Greece For 'Spying'

Posted by Soulskill on from the game-developers-make-the-best-secret-agents dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku reports that two employees of Bohemia Interactive have been arrested while on a photo-tour of the Greek island of Limnos, on charges of spying. The developers were taking reference photos for the upcoming military simulation game Arma III, which is to feature Limnos as it's primary setting, when they were arrested (Google translation of Greek original)."

      If they don't add that as an Easter Egg, they should all be arrested.

    Surely if it were dissolved then it would turn into an EU solution.

    Or rather, it would be a solution of Greece in EU.

    Although I have to wonder about how well the EU works as a solvent... they don't seem particularly solvent to me...

    Illegal eh? Hey Greece: ever hear of Google?

    What's that? No, we will not spot you airfare to come over here and arrest Larry and Sergei. And don't even try to mail that wooden horse to Mountain View.

    In any case, they now have a reference for goon behavior they can also include in the game.
