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)."

    What? So much for the 'free' western world. Since when is taking pictures of scenery 'espionage'? I know most people in the west mark the fall of the soviet union as a high point in history for freedom, but legislation/political action in various countries over the last 20 years or so makes it seem like the beginning of its decline.
