Video Game Banned In India Because Of Gay Character


If you live in India, and if you have taken a liking to playing the hit game Dragon Age: Inquisition, then you are in for some really bad (and sadly homophobic) news. While the game has been released all over the world, it sadly skipped India.

The game's publisher, Electronic Arts, has decided to withdraw the game from India, saying that they’re doing so “in order to avoid a breach of local content laws.” Boo!

Previous Dragon Age games have featured queer content, but the new installment has taken it to the next level: rather than having an option for bisexual romances, Dragon Age: Inquisition features a gay party member named Dorian. Some say that this is the main reason why EA has pulled out the game from the Indian market.

An Electronic Arts rep told Kotaku: “The decision here is in relation to local obscenity laws, but not specific to same gender romance.” 

Is this claim for real? We are not sure. But we should take into account that Electronic Arts previously released other games with lots of sexual content (such as Grand Theft Auto V). At the same time, they still have other Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles in the market. Also, it looks like the Indian distributor, Milestone Interactive, mentioned in another publication that the gay content was to blame.

What a shame.
