Fortnite is one of the more popular Third Person Shooter games available on various types of gaming platforms.This seemingly innocent entertainment did not please the authorities of ... Iraq.

The Iraqi parliament decided last Wednesday that games such as Fortnite or Player's Unknown Battleground have a bad impact on adolescents growing up in a country affected by war and bloodshed.

The ban evoked immediate outcry of young Iraqis who expressed their dissatisfaction on various social networking sites, arguing that the state has other, more important matters to attend to than to ban computer games.
