Editing MENA Versions (section)

==== Objectionable Content ====
Some of the content is simply given age rating increases, although this doesn't keep some localizations from rewriting text associated with it.

* '''Profanity / Criminal Behavior:''' Increases age rating to +16 (KSA), blasphemous insults would be often replaced
* '''Alcohol / Substance Abuse / Gambling:''' Increases age rating to +18 (KSA) but not banned outright
* '''Mild Fanservice:''' Skimpy clothes and jiggle physics will often merely increase the age rating as long as it's not a full beach episode. Iran however is very strict with it and will require women's legs, torso and arms to be covered (some Arab publishers too).
* '''Gore:''' Semi-realistic is +12 (KSA), realistic with blood and brutality is +16 (KSA), mutilation and exposed limb cuts is +18 (KSA)

Some of the content, on the other hand, is an instant sales ban in Saudi Arabia. Other countries don't have explicit rating board provisions for it, sometimes even saying they may "allow everything as a +21 rating" (UAE) but de facto law enforcement and internet service providers will directly request physical and digital stores to take down the content because it's still '''illegal''' under general media laws.

* '''Political content directly tied to local governments:''' Usually if these countries are the settings for these games.
* '''Disrespects Islam / Christianism :''' Used to be, still is sometimes against irreverence to religion in general. Depictions of other religions is allowed within reason (not preaching it, not asking player interactivity in partaking in it). Depictions of holy books and places of worship being disrespected. Games causing sectarian strife between Arabic populations will be banned as well.
* '''Full nudity:''' Visible genitalia, boobs, buttocks, and anything suggesting their shape.
* '''Sex scenes:''' Intercourse shown onscreen. 
* '''Sexual degeneracy:''' This includes LGBT relationships, rejection of the gender binary including pronouns (although they don't ban for intersex and transgenders that just say they're male OR female), incest (doesn't include cousins but does include milk siblings)

Finally, some of the content will be deemed offensive enough they request its removal from all global versions of the game, or the developers do it preemptively. This is generally the case with '''disrespectful depictions of Islam'''.
