Well understandable it was an illegal invasion the 2nd Iraq war and placed Iranian loyalist (Shia minority) in charge. But conflating with video game doesn't make sense it's a game not a political agenda to endorse the war.

KZ sold the everything that was left to Destineer in '05. Sadly, the V for Victory and CC2 codes had been lost. Destineer farmed out the CC codes to Matrix in return for completing the multi-million dollar CC:AT/JTAC contract that Destineer also inherited. Money from this contract had been what allowed KZ to restart Atomic in Austin TZ. However the burn rate got the best of them. (Moral of the story being - dont decide to write your own 3D engine in the middle of development while faced with a hard govt deadline.)
Matrix in turn, subcontracted the AT/JTAC work to CSO Simtek (Sulla, Beeblebroz, Future, The Blood etc.) along with permission to develop new consumer CC titles. Simtek simultaneously started developing the CC re-releases, as well as its own sim for the UK military - CC:RAF. Matrix then bought Sulla out and took back full control of CC development. That is, until Slitherine acquired Matrix and launched development of its own 3D CC, which has turned into CC:TBF.
