As reported by Greplaw the Greek government has banned any form of electric, electro-mechanical and electronic game devices, including computers, from hotels, coffee shops, club premises and public areas in general.
The first case based on the new law will be tried next week, Vnunet reports. Two individuals are charged for allowing users to play Counter-Strike. The individuals face possible fines of £95,000 and up to one year in jail.
The Greek Internet Cafe Union said to Vnunet that such cases 'would remain in the sphere of comedy if it didn't concern the employment of thousands of people'.
