Why Your Favorite Games Are ILLEGAL in Other Countries!

What happens when governments treat perfectly normal video games like global threats? From international conspiracies to outlawing a game over a virtual energy drink, these are the strangest reasons your favorite games became illegal.

Today, we’re diving into the history of banned video games and international censorship. We explore the strict caffeine laws that destroyed EA Sports MMA in Denmark, the panic that got Pokémon cards outlawed in Saudi Arabia, and the truth behind the Mega Man 5 Vietnam urban legend. Plus, we’ll look at how a single Photoshop typo completely ruined the Middle Eastern release of DC’s Injustice: Gods Among Us.
