The parent company is called Thelestris, which is in Ireland for some reason, and their holding company has declared that they've made $35 million in sales from just doing business in the Middle East. But other sources have said that they've made close to $200 million in sales in the last three years. So it seems like life and business is great for Taldillion and Indalexa.

This will definitely be a company that I'll be keeping an eye on in the future. But with the noise that they seem to be making, sounds like everyone is going to be watching them too. A big thank you to Croft and Black from Lighthouse Reports for coming on the show and sharing the story with us. Also, thanks to Bill Marzak and John Scott Railton from Citizen Lab for telling us what they know.

If you liked this episode, you'll probably also like the episodes about NSO Group, which are episodes 99 and 100. But also, this isn't Greek's first big hacking scandal. If you want to hear another crazy story about Greece, check out episode 64 called Athens Shadow Games. If you like this show, if it brings value to you, consider donating to it through Patreon.

Mixing done by Proximity Sound, who just released a book on how to use Pro Tools. It's called Pro Tools Post Audio Cookbook 2023, and he's done audio production on films, music, and spoken word, and jam packs the book with tons of great tips on how you can be a better audio producer. I'll have a link in the show notes on where to get the book.

Our theme music is by the mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder. I don't like ultra wide screen monitors because the loading bar on them is just like so long. This is Dark Knight Diaries.

Okay, so I read about this story about a video game that I thought was interesting. So it starts out on Steam. Steam is a video game marketplace, right? And you can download Steam, and through there you can buy video games to play and stuff. It's a nice system. I like Steam because it provides a sort of standardized way to get games.

See, before this, games for the PC were just all over the internets. There was no central place to go other than your local GameStop. And you had no idea if the game you found on the internet was legit or not. It could have malware in it, or maybe it wasn't a complete game, or some weird knockoff pirated version.

Steam saw this problem too, and this is why they made the marketplace, and they developed a three-step process that all games must go through before they can be sold on Steam. First is that you have to submit your Steam page, then you have to submit your game for review, and then if those things are approved by Steam, you have the option to publish your game on their platform.

Yeah, well, someone looked at this and they were like, hmm, I wonder if I can get my game onto Steam without having to go through any of that process. So they made the most boring game you can think of called Watch Paint Dry. And yes, in fact, if you downloaded and installed this game, all you do is sit there and watch paint dry. Surely a game this stupid would be rejected by Steam.
