34 games with the usual darlings among dumb parents like GTA and Postal, along with The Sims and Mass Effect, for some reason. Posting here to see if anyone around here still cares.

What do you expect from a dictatorship?

I mean if democratical states do the same crap why shouldn't authoritarian states do that also.

Interesting, that this was brought up by some guy from India, not from Uzbekistan. :-D

For an official effort, this looks very poorly made, with missing sequels, wrong/missing dates and wrong names that lack proper capitalization (Until down?) . At least, it seems like Left 4 Dead 3 is confirmed. Maybe we are one step closer to Half-Life 3?

Sims and Mass Effect feature some hinted sexual themes, which sadly is a big no-no in that country.

It can affect any country, especially now that it has precedent. As if existing regulations in many countries wasn't enough. And who knows what other government of hitherto unregulated countries (like mine) may get this idea after they hear of this.

Yes, unfortunately they teach Uzbekistan's poor impressionable youth how to gay. And that's bad because reasons.

Well of course there's reasons....even if they aren't very good or well-thought-out ones.

Mass Effect is banned in Uzbekistan? Not really surprising, I bet they're pissed that Kazakhstan gets the spotlight with the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
