Thailand military junta bans Tropico 5 computer game - "threat to peace and order"

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/politics/424415/ncpo-bans-dictator-computer-game

Because nation building games are a threat to any dictatorship intent on controlling the message that "dictatorship is good"?




"Censors under the military regime have banned a nation-building simulation computer game, saying it threatens national security, a game distributor says. The censorship office blocked sales of Tropico 5, fearing some parts of the popular game may "effect peace and order in the country"."
