This is a tweet by a Saudi official explaining why one of the biggest games of the year was blocked, you can use the translation function on twitter, but just know that it butchers some of what's being hinted at, the proper translation (shamelessly from another gaming forums) say: "it's because of the recent trend to include a certain kind content these companies refuse to edit out to suit our region". 

The Saudi official doesn't explicitly say it's LGBT content that resulted in FF16 being blocked, but it's very clear that this is what he's hinting at. Absolute disgrace, but thankfully, the rest of the world didn't just life the driving ban on women.

Well done on SE for not budging on this, I guess they just earned a pre-order.
