Visit Thailand bans some games in wake of cabbie murder Thailand bans some games in wake of cabbie murder in banningcabbie-murderjesada-chandraprasertthailand
By Alexander Sliwinski
el 04-Sep-2008

Filed under: Culture, Business


The Thai government continues its campaign against violent games in the wake of a cabbie's murder, allegedly inspired by Grand Theft Auto. CNet's Thai blog reports that five games have been banned in the country (GTA IV was already pulled by the distributor):
  • Hitman
  • 300
  • Killer Seven
  • Hitman: Blood Money
  • 50 Cent: Bulletproof
The five games are, as Game Politics pointed out early last month, taken directly from an outdated list by Detroit prosecutor Kyn Worthy. CNet reports that a conference consisting of government and police officials was recently held to deal with the problem of "dangerous games." Making fun of Thailand's overreaction to the situation would be so much simpler if "Hot Coffee" wasn't still so fresh in our minds.
