Looks like Saudi Arabia is stuck in the past, they're banning a game for having a gay character while the rest of the world has moved on to fighting space aliens and zombies.

Final Fantasy 16 just got banned in Saudi Arabia for having a gay character, but it's not all bad news for gamers in the kingdom - they can still play games where you slaughter hundreds of innocent NPCs with no consequences!

Yes, Game developers should not change their vision to appeal to a specific segment of their audience. Any contribution is welcome, not just that appreciated by US youths at the time. Nations, on the other hand, have the right to restrict the broadcast of certain prohibited material and themes, and certain audiences have the right to refuse to purchase a product because of certain topics. Furthermore, firms are not permitted to complain about lost sales. It's sad that corporations are now taking the position of including political comments in their games regardless of how poorly they're done, which lowers the overall quality of the product. They do, however, have the right to lose money on a bad product.​
