What game is it that they've got in mind that is likely to be killed off? If we were talking about the EA of old then sure they would have had a point but the new corporate EA that's been around for the last two decades doesn't have anything that could be considered controversial.

    The Sims has gay people in it. Saudi Arabia really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really doesn't like gay people.

    Women being allowed to be in public without a male guardian is controversial in Saudi Arabia, dude. It's not going to take much.

    Maybe the next Sims won’t fuck anymore? Or the women won’t get to be as extravagant as in previous versions ?

    The female sims will have a fulfilling existence, just limited to the confines of their home and subject to their husband's authority. /s
