Guys, check this out:

This link talks about a new partnership that'll see games getting edited and modified to be suitable to our Middle Eastern cultures.
WTH??? And the funny thing is that the games are going to be edited by the gulf regions with they're erratic judgments and thinking that they can change how we should play our mature games.
LOL
Guys I think you're missing the point. Rubicon is a Jordanian company backed up by the queen Rania who was advertising itself as the "new Pixar of the Middle East" a couple of years ago. The project they were working on was an animation series called Ben and Izzy (Ben is arabic and Izzy american or vice versa, can't remember), they were able to suck up a few western dollars to produce this series. I highly doubt they got anywhere near Pixar, the series might as well ended up in the trash.
Anyways, you can't blame a company for having ambitions, I think what they are looking for is to have more money to produce their own PS3 games, and a bit propaganda seems the right recipe for production companies survival in the region lately.
So no, I don't think this is gonna be the end of the games as we know them but maybe a shy start of a gaming industry in the Middle East. No one in his right mind is gonna belief he's gonna break record sales by covering Cloe's ass! right? I mean come on what's to censor in Uncharted?
