Grand Theft Auto IV Banned in UAE

Rockstar’s hit, Grand Theft Auto IV, which is flying off the shelves left and right across the world, has hit a bit of a bump over in the United Arab Emirates. Indeed, authorities have now banned the game due to its offensive content, and there’s little hope that the decision will be overturned.

Given the game’s violent content it’s entirely likely that the UAE won’t be alone in the banning festivities. Other countries are likely to slap the game with a ban any day now.

The ban isn’t really halting all sales across the UAE, however. On launch day, a Dubai airport sold out of GTA IV copies, and they’re expecting another shipment in a couple of months.
