Thanks to the depiction of U.S. troops invading Tehran, the Iranian government has banned anyone from selling the game, and local police have “raided (some shops) and arrested owners for selling the game secretly,” well before the ban was even put into place. EA has commented on the matter stating, “In that Battlefield 3 is not available for purchase in Iran, we can only hope the ban will help prevent pirated copies reaching consumers there.”
It saddens me to know that there are countries in the world whose government are so controlling that they go so far as to arrest people simply for trying to make a living by selling a highly demanded product. Reminds me why I love this country.
