    I think game companies should not release their games in middle east and part of africa that identifies close to middle east and also ip block them.

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    I think gaming companies should issue statements in countries like this, before releasing their games with the following message : Fuck off !

    ..and I believe that Niantic even translated the game in their language , marketing it, etc ! Oh well! My above message stand still for countries which such .. strict .. erm , stupid ways to handle such things!

    Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
    Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!

    One would think there would be worse problems in a country then a silly game... Particularly when the game have no political agenda and isn't particularly violent. As usual do a lot of religious and political leaders need to get a life.

    The female poke-ladies weren't wearing hijabs. The Iranians first attempted to stone the smart phones to death for their insolence, then bury them to their microphone covers in the desert sand, but when both failed to force the corrupt eastern electronic animals to don the proper amount of black attire, the entire game was banished.

    Damn right. Someone might accidentally reveal their secret nuclear plants! xD

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    Ah yes, a country run by the enlightened 'religion of peace' that is Islam is once again striking a blow against the freedom of its citizens to think for themselves.

    Honestly, I think they just saw a U.N. inspector get too close to one of their nuclear weapons facilities while playing the game, and panicked.

    Bloody brilliant!

    Also: Women humiliated, beaten, raped, and tortured overseas: Feminists don't give a shit.

    Female character in a video game has a confident, sexy victory pose: Feminists go apeshit and call the game company a bunch of sexist pigs who should be forced to go to sensitivity training and pay restitution to women who were insulted by it.

    AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

    We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open. FEAR THE OLD BLOOD.
