Makers of episodic war games based on real world conflicts, Kuma Games, have been accused of serving as part of an American agenda to rewrite history by Amir Mirza Hekmati, an alleged American spy recently outed on Iranian TV.

Hekmati claims that Kuma is trying to influence American views of the Middle East by altering the events that are depicted in said episodic war games. Now, what is hilarious is the fact that it can hardly be argued that what he says is wrong, as Kuma's game are rather one sided, and not exactly historically accurate. However, that is probably more to do with adhering to the tastes of American gamers, and the will to make money, rather than the American government infiltrating and controlling the developer to get their views across.

Anyway, we wish Amir Mirza Hekmati, all the best as we hear alleged spies aren't always treated well in Iran (or most other countries, for that matter).
