Uzbekistan has banned a long list of computer games deemed to be "distorting values" and "threatening stability".
The list includes several violent games but also global hits like Grand Theft Auto and innocuous classics like The Sims.
The ban makes it illegal to import and distribute the games across the central Asian country.
Reactions online have been swift and range from ridicule and anger to genuine support.
The list itself
High notes:
# Only two games on the list from before 2003.
# Only the first Mass Effect and first Dead Space games seem to be banned, while Doom 1 and 2 seem to be OK.
# Even remote corners of the world like Uzbekistan seem to know that Left 4 Dead 3 is in development.
# "Until down" is but one "s" away from being the Best Review Ever for Until Dawn.
# Postal 2 tops the list. *sounds of high-fives coming from Running With Scissors studio*
