MS Cancels Fallout 3 In India >

	Fallout 3 has been canceled by MS India because of growing concerns over "cultural sensitivity." There is apparently a bit of content that MS did not specify, which they believe could offend consumers in India. MS was set to publish the Xbox360 title itself in the region, with the PS3 and PC versions not getting a release in the region at all. "Microsoft constantly endeavours to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release," said the company in a statement, reported by Gaming Indians. "However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bring Fallout 3 into the country." >Link

That's too bad. The more I read about this game the more I want it.

i guess its good for us seeing that we dont live in India!

ha ha thats very cian.

@CianMCL, did dell layoff customer service reps? lol........

oh yeah i went to college with cian, that why i said that, he always said stuff like that in college.

From the article:

"Games fail to release in India for various reasons - high prices, lack of distribution - but “cultural sensitivities” is a first, it would seem. With games like Postal, Bioshock, Grand Theft Auto and many more on stores shelves for anyone to purchase, it really makes you wonder what exactly it is that made the release Fallout 3 in India such a business risk."

I'd really like to know myself, just out of curiosity. Perhaps when I play the game through it'll become evident. Or maybe the whole "Post apocalyptic" genre isn't too popular over there because of (not so) recent nuclear tensions in the region between India and Pakistan.
