Gaming in Iran

I'm not sure if anyone reads this ... but anyway

Iran is kinda a crappy place , I mean well its not as bad as Afghanistan or Iraq which you can lose your life any moment in those places , but still there is a lot of walls infront of iranian gamers :

first off , the US Sections against Iran ( because of Nuclear program ) . none of game companies sell games to Iran , which leaves two choices for Iranian gamers : 1. Pirate . 2. Get the original version from another country like Turkey which would cost a lot , every game would be 80$ in that case . so Most Iranian gamers go with the first choice obviously .

I really don't know why US doesn't give video games to Iran . and if an Iranian Tries to download a digital version of a game they will get this fancy error " this feature is not available in your region " . I mean ... Video games are going to help Iran Government to make Nuke Bomb ?

second thing is Low Internet speed . like 4 mbs , and the responsible for this is Iran government . for some reason they Hate internet or better to say they are afraid of Internet ! because it's turning more people against them every day . and many websites and services are blocked by government including facebook , Youtube and even Gamespot (I'm using proxy to get here ) . because of low internet speed there is no way that Iranian players can download 40Gb games of today . only some patient ones download it and then they pirate the hell out of it and sell it to others for 1$ .

third thing is damn high price . because game consoles and games don't launch in iran , some people bring them from Turkey or Dubai and sell them for a higher price . Xbox one for example , is about 600$ out here.

i don't really know why I wrote this ...
