The Associated Press reports Saudi Arabia will ban a list of videogames following the alleged suicide of two children. It is thought the children had been encouraged to do so after playing the 'Blue Whale' social media game.Â
As reported by the AP (via gamesindustry.biz), the Saudi General Commission for Audio-Visual Media has said it plans to ban 47 popular games—including Grand Theft Auto 5, The Witcher and Assassin's Creed 2. The AP says it plans to do so "for unspecified violations of rules and regulations."
