Kotaku has spoken to EA who says that the Bioware game Dragon Age: Inquisition will not be released to the gamers of India. The reason for this is India's obscenity laws, which are vague at best, and EA has decided not to try their luck with them.
As some of you may know Bioware's RPGs in general are not afraid to depict content of sexual nature, and EA is obviously afraid that the content in Inquisition will be too much for the country that wrote the book on love making (Kamasutra). Here's what the publisher told Kotaku:
"In order to avoid a breach of local content laws, EA has withdrawn Dragon Age: Inquisition from sale in India and the game is no longer available for pre-order. Customers who pre-ordered the game will be contacted directly and will be fully refunded."
"The decision here is in relation to local obscenity laws, but not specific to same gender romance."
EA rejects the idea of same-sex relationships being the basis for this decision, and instead they point to the game's ESBR description:
"The game includes some sexual material: a female character briefly depicted in front of a man's torso (fellatio is implied); characters depicted topless or with exposed buttocks while lying in bed or after sex; some dialogue referencing sex/sexuality."
