God of War got banned in Arab countries

Gamers who eventually die in real life should read this
You’re a gamer. You think you’re safe, reclining on your couch or whatever you use to support your physical form while playing. But you’re not immortal, even if you save your game regularly. You may die at any time, for real. But not now, later. Much late ... (more)
