<< Maybe we'll get a ton of orders from the DoD soon... >> <SARCASM> An alternative is that some reporter publishes a story saying that since people who participate in real wars have been playing these games, they're the likely root cause of those real wars.

Named in the suit is the software company's "Jane's Combat Simulations" division. Milosevic's attorneys blame EA for the recent destruction rained upon Yugoslav military forces by NATO airstrikes. "It is clear that had these violent war games not been available to the NATO military leaders, they would not have been able to launch such a precise attack on Mr. Milosevic's forces.
