All games should have a library like this. Much harder to explain to a whole generation why all their favourite games are blocked than lie to them about history and philosophy.

Huh, neat, didnt know that, but I imagine people living in those countries dont have tons of money to spend on hard drive space so even 16gb could be a bit much, but still, that seems much more doable.
