10 Video Games Banned Overseas For Ridiculous Reasons

10. EverQuest (Brazil)

Online games have certainly had a tough time when it comes to banning and censorship. This is not entirely surprising, seeing as compulsive gaming has lead to deaths in the past with overly obsessive fans. One might see how an "addictive" MMORPG could suffer banning or restriction in the interest of public safety. But for the moral fiber of its content?

EverQuest is entirely tame, featuring no blood or graphic violence. But that's how they get you. They lull you into a sense of magical wonder, and before you know it, you're a violent delinquent.

Or, at least, that's what the government of Brazil thinks.

A Brazilian judge ruled that EverQuest encouraged the "subversion of public order" because it allowed players to portray evil characters, leading to banning the game in 2008.

That's 2008 - almost a decade after the game's original release. I'd say the damage is already done. By my calculations, Brazil is already swarming with evil wizards and enchanters.
