Censorship strikes again!
We live in the age that can probably be defined as the most free humanity has ever lived, and yet this is not true for all 7.5 billion people who populate the planet, anything else. From cinema to music, from the press, to the tg to video games, nothing escapes censorship, even in countries that in recent years have undergone a "occidentalization" not indifferent. It had already happened with The Last of Us, the first chapter, which for admission of the same development study presented an "integral" American version and a "reviewed" European version to support the ratings of tolerance of violence of the various countries. In this case, instead, we are talking about the United Arab Emirates and The Last of Us 2, the highly anticipated sequel developed by Naughty Dog exclusively Playstation.
The title, expected to arrive on 19 June, despite figures from the titles coming to the region (and in the same it was advertised by official accounts Playstation on various social media), is not available to preorder. To shed light on the story such Ghostechful, reddit user who contacted the customer service to have clarifications about it. The answer has been as clear as it is clear: the game is officially banned in the Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries.
Although there are no official reasons for decision, the numerous nude scenes and the presence of interactions between LGBT characters seem to be the main suspects. Fortunately this will not make the purchase of The Last of Us 2 impossible to Arab players, however, there is a possibility to create foreign accounts where you can freely buy the game. Although this is not correct, it seems necessary to dispose of every weapon at the disposal of the user to disobey absurd prohibitions that little have to do with morality or good costume and which are always absolutely condemned for what they are: Censorship.
