Player Affinity takes a closer look at the history behind Iran's arrest of an American video game developer who faces death over alleged involvement with the CIA.

An American, Amir Hekmati has been sentenced to death in Iran for espionage. The Iranian government has accused Hekmati of being a spy working for the CIA through developer Kuma Games.
