Therefore, I had proven that the game Red Dead Redemption is in fact not banned in U.A.E. However, as we continue to newer entries, there has been a change and apparently Geekay Games were informing their clients that the game is now in fact coming to the country after all, and was released around mid-June, as you can see here, here, here, or here. As it turns out, the game was initially banned in the country, as according to this, this, or this. It sounds kind of primal, but it seems to work since Facebook is extremely popular in this region as a general website rather than a social network! Anyway, I went as far back as May 2010 to find any info on Red Dead Redemption. Whilst their official website is currently being worked on for over a year now, they had been opting to spread news to the masses via their Facebook page here. Geekay Games happens to be the U.A.E.'s biggest video game retailer, so they are usually the most informed about video games statuses in the country.

However, before I continue I realise you are from Canada, so I shall start from the very beginning. Hope(N Forever) ( talk) 17:50, 3 November 2010 (UTC) It needs to be sourced before it's updated to reflect that the game is no longer banned. resident and a video game enthusiast, please support what I say is indeed fact. that the game is available, and believe you me when I said that I seen it there! If you are a U.A.E. I currently do not have proof for people living outside the U.A.E. usually do not bother releasing retractions for minor things such as video games. In the meantime, Red Dead Redemption is in fact available in many stores - I've personally witnessed some copies of the game available on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 being retailed normally like any other game, in their proper shelves in plain sight! Yes, and I am referring to Geekay Games outlets being included as said stores selling the game. Whilst it is true a ridiculous amount of sources claim that Red Dead Redemption is banned in the U.A.E., all of those sources are actually out-dated, as they claimed the game was banned before the official release date. (Samuel)Īlso an AO rating or any video game rating done by the ESRB has nothing to do with the government its a private industry organization therefore doesn't belong in an article that is supposed to be about _government_ censorship because in no way is anything be censored or banned. This is not a ban, and is clearly being included with bias, not because it legitimately belongs there. Ignoring the number of AO rated software and the much larger list of 'de facto' banned games in other countries that aren't on this banned list, the fact is there are many conduits through which it can be sold besides brick and mortar electronics stores. coldacid 15:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC) That's absurd. It's just a de facto ban, rather than de jure. Lomn 13:49:38, (UTC)įor all intents and purposes, AO is a ban in North America, since retailers won't carry such titles. Consequently, it really doesn't rate a U.S.-based reference on this list. Unlike the Aussie system, AO-rated games can be sold, it's just that many retailers choose not to. GTA:SA has not been banned in the U.S., just re-rated. I was told not to spam after I had added the listing for San Andreas.
