What the fuck is it with Americans and "trying to make obviously political things not political"

once again, the Onion serving up heaps of inspiration for American media

    Ok so Peter Tamte (CEO of Victura games) has a long history. He was vice President of Bungie until 2001, until he formed Destineer, his own game publisher. Destineer worked closely with the US marines to create Close Combat: First to Fight, which caught the CIA's attention in the form of In-Q-Tel, a CIA funded venture capital firm. In-Q-Tel decide to invest in Destineer, revealed by Peter Tamte in June 2005.

    Just a month earlier in May 2005 Destineer acquires Atomic Games, the developers of the original version of Six Days in Fallujah. Some time later that year (timeline is unclear) Peter Tamte becomes CEO of Atomic Games and leaves Paul Rinde in charge of Destineer. Atomic Games and Destineer work on Six Days in Fallujah until April 2009 when Konami dropped it.

    So in sort the game Six Days in Fallujah has always had links to CIA funding and Peter Tamte has been really invested in this game, to the point of leaving the company he created to be in charge of it's development, since the In-Q-Tel investment. Really suspicious.
