MULTI Saudi Arabia bans 47 video games including Witcher and GTA

[staticPointer]

Saudi Arabia says it’s banning a long list of popular video games after allegations surfaced that two children killed themselves after being encouraged to do so in an online game.
The Saudi General Commission for Audio-Visual Media said Monday it was banning 47 games, including Grand Theft Auto V, Assassins Creed 2 and Witcher, for unspecified violations of rules and regulations.
The ban was in response to the deaths of a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy who reportedly killed themselves after playing the so-called Blue Whale social media game, though the agency did not say what the connection was.

dont know about other games. but i myself boycott the first 2 assassins creed games.
they were made in persia and the towers, building would have islamic aayats written on them and then we needed to climb those buildings, etc.

The alleged suicide is linked to Blue Whale but they banned some random, unrelated games. Well, what else to expect from KSA?
