Fallout 3 cancelled in India

According to the Indian site GamingIndians, the local division of Microsoft has blocked the distribution of Fallout 3 in stores in order not to clash with the country’s “cultural sensitivities”. The official wording from Microsoft:

“Microsoft constantly endeavors to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release. However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bring Fallout 3 into the country.”

The reason behind it most likely is tied to the high violence content inside the game. The decision to cancel Fallout 3 in India came almost at the same time as the one taken against Gears of War 2 in Germany and Japan.
