Games for the Military? Are you Serious?
summary
A game engine originally modded from Operation Flashpoint becomes a purpose-built training tool called VBS 3 that runs on enterprise licenses across 59 countries and trains hundreds of thousands of soldiers a year. The business grows to 260+ staff in seven offices and delivers four major releases a year, uses Nvidia physics, supports VR and parachute and convoy simulators (Bushmaster and husky emulations), copes with Windows XP fleets, export controls and multi‑year procurement cycles, and holds ~10,000 US Army licenses.
