Explain how its not good for business when BioWare is still making enough cash to feed all of us for the rest of our lives? And then still make a profit?

It can be better...just imagine...no controversy, no need to waste energy on legal issue, sensitivity, censorship and all those things...Bioware can make better than it was. Want more profit or just profit?

I don't like 1984, but thanks for asking.

P.S. can we kill this now?

No game company can consider itself popular until their game is banned somewhere. Fine city is fine.

It does matter when I'm asking you to prove which country it was banned in. Otherwise you're talking out your ass.

So it's China. That's not at all surprising.

And why should we care if it wasn't in one country? It's one country. Anyone innerested in the game could import it in that scenario.

The only BW games consistently banned in any area United Arab Emirates according to Wiki

Honestly it doesn't make a heavy (or evne medium) influence on their profits if it's banned there. You want to know what other games are banned there? Fallout New Vegas (that has no on screen sex), Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Heavy Rain. All games that have done very well without that market.

Somehow I think BW will do just fine without the UAE.

The China ban was reversed.

Controversy is great for business. Entire franchises are built off controversy. You create something the establishment doesn't want the masses to get their hands on, suddenly everyone wants it because someone tells them it's bad for them.

You gotta love the Bioware boards, blatant troll threads go for nearly 20 pages without so much as a peep from a Mod, while attempts at serious discussion threads get locked down after only a couple pages.

this is the dumbest thread ive ever seen and you should all be ashamed of letting it run this long

You know that Arabs are rich peoples, USA never mess with Arabs because of their oils and they rich, so just imagine if UAE not banned Bioware games, they will bring more money...

Money they're doing just fine without while making the games they want to make.

Yes. Let's return to having games with only straight, male protagonists who at most dare to look at women in a romantic fashion. We don't wanna upset the misogynists, homophobes and racists out there. And let's not forget that we need to placate those who believe games should have no violence, as well. So make it all about diplomacy, as well.

The joys!

I don't think it's the game they want to make, i blame the marketing that giving the false info, sex don't sell, if got banned then it not sold, maybe in black market yes but that makes the pirates happy

And what makes you think that? Or even if that is the case what makes you think they'll want their games to fit UAE specifications? 

And the game doesn't sell in a country? It won't be there to begin with. It'll sell in plenty other places though not to mention people can import games if they wanna buy it.

Again there's plenty of commerically successful games that are banned in UAE. (Hell GTA5 is the best selling game I believe and it's banned in UAE).

Well, they can make the male protagonist who look at women with respect and not as sex object they want to bang at the first sight....

Somehow, I think that if they tailored a game to fit the sensibilities of the UAE, they'd loose substantial sales in american markets.
