The new game in the cult first-person shooter (FPS) series Call of Duty, Black Ops 6, has met with players. The game has taken its place on shelves for Xbox, PS5, and PC platforms. Black Ops 6 has also been made available to users with an Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft's Netflix-like digital game library.
BANNED IN KUWAIT
An Activision spokesperson stated in a release that they hope local authorities will reconsider this decision. No official statement has been made regarding the ban, but it is estimated that the reason for the ban is related to the game's content.
THE GAME DEPICTS THE GULF WAR
Black Ops 6 is set in the 1990s during the Gulf War era, and the game's narrative includes the historical events of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The game features figures from that period's world leaders, such as Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, George H. W. Bush, and Saddam Hussein. It is thought that this content may have led to the ban decision.
ACQUIRED FOR 69 BILLION DOLLARS
