Many countries have various reasons why they decide to ban games. Some of the games on this list seem pretty light, but governments always find a way to make a mountain out of a molehill and we can’t say we’re surprised. Subscribe to The Gamer: https://goo.gl/9cpWgf
There are a number of reasons games should be banned like excessive violence, nudity or offensive language, but we feel even the best reason for a ban should have an explanation. We’re also not certain the government should be in charge of banning games because sometimes they do it for silly reasons. We can see where game ratings come in to help eliminate children from getting their hands on games not suitable for them, but should adults have restrictions on video games too?
No matter which side of the coin you’re on in politics, sometimes the government thinks they have their citizens’ best interest at heart. And sometimes, it feels like they’re eliminating the freedom of choice when they ban games. Harmless games like EA Sports MMA which had one scene showing a pair of pants with an energy drink supplier was banned by Denmark. The country outlawed marketing of energy drinks, which included through video games as well, and neither EA or Denmark budged which meant the game was outright banned and not accessible to the country. Talk about taking stubbornness to a new extreme. Even Football Manager 2005 had a whole myriad of problems, but China banned the game for showing Tibet and Taiwan as independent countries. It’s okay, they also banned Pokemon Go for security concerns and Command and Conquer: Generals for showing their military in a negative light. The gaming companies need to stop bringing dishonor and getting outright banned in the country.
Then again, it seems pretty impossible to make everyone happy and there are a lot of rules which apply to video games in other countries. Join us as we take a look at these harmless games that were banned around the world!
