Iran authorities banned the popular video game, Battlefield 3 in the country. Battlefield 3, a war games that have been released recently, was banned because it featured the scenes of the attacks on Tehran, the capital of Iran.
“All the stores were forbidden to sell this illegal computer games,” said a policeman who did not want to be named, as reported by AFP quoted on Tuesday (11/29/2011).
Battlefield 3 is made by the Electronics Arts (EA) developer. The setting is in the future in which players play the role as the marines who did a battle missions in Paris, New York and Tehran.
The scenario in Iran itself illustrates how U.S. troops fight the militants. Various armed warfare was pushed with the background locations around Tehran.
EA itself has no real authorized resellers in Iran, but their pirated video games widely spreaded out there.
The Iranian video games seller actually smelt the clues that Battlefield 3 will be banned by the authority so that they do not sell it. From around the world, Battlefield 3 has sold 5 million copies so far.
So, how about you, Iranian game developer? Dare to make a Battlefield 3 Competitor?
