Bad News: Fallout 3 not Coming to India

This news comes as a shocker for those who were awaiting this game which releases on October 28, here’s an excerpt of news piece from GamingIndians.com which says that Microsoft was going to release this game for their Xbox 360 console, Microsoft sent out an official statement that read,

“Microsoft constantly endeavors to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release. However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bring Fallout 3 into the country.”

I wonder what would be so culturally sensitive in the game that could hurt Indian sentiments,  could it be related to mutated two headed cows in the game which is sacred to Indians? I know however the game would not be available through retail stores, still few game dealers would be able to manage imported copies of this game in India for sure.

Also the article says “Due to distribution issues in the region, Microsoft had taken up the role of distributor for Fallout 3 in India, while the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game were never scheduled for release in the country.”

Bad news for all PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 gamers to miss out launch of a high quality game in India.

Note: If you still want your dose of Fallout 3, you can try importing it from sites such as Game.co.uk and Play-Asia.com
