    That means no more Diversity & LGBTQI+ in games? Well, at least Saudi Arabia aligns with the misogynistic views of teenage gamers.

    Let’s if the main character in Battlefield 7 will be a suicide bomber rushing into Western soldiers.

      Ah yes, Saudia Arabia is the gonna ruin games with racist tropes… Like any call of duty game or most western games set in the Middle East or anywhere in the world really making with racist tropes and stereotypes. Mate whether your from the UK or America the call is coming from inside the house with your awful fucking nations and their bullshit notion of “freedom of expression” remind me who was it that was crying about battlefield v having women and black people in it?

        Who said it was better before. The problem is that every nation is pushing their agenda and we need truly independent games companies. Having video games owned by public funds is just bad. Like every medias owned for political reasons.

        I’m not from UK or America. My country got stereotyped enough in games and medias don’t worry.
