Kalypso Media can confirm that Tropico 5, the latest instalment of the hugely popular dictator sim, has been refused distribution in Thailand. The Board of Film and Video Censors (part of the Ministry of Culture) informed Kalypso Media’s Thailand distributor New Era that Tropico 5 would not be granted a release status in the country. They stated that ‘some contents of the game are not appropriate for the current situation’ but did not pinpoint the exact content which caused concern. After consideration, New Era has decided not to appeal the decision.
