Moronic that fallout3 & New Vegas weren't released here in India

I will get to why this happy thought came to mind on a a nice Sunday morning. But first....It's a happy Sunday and I wake up at 6 30, make tea for me and the family and leave em be and then come here sit on my desktop boot it up thinking of stealing some gaming time before the hubbub of the day swallowed me into itself and I tumbled and tossed (I wear a loose seatbelt) on this day's highway. While my mind is mulling over this the windows accounts page has opened and I log into mine, open blogger and straight away steam shows me this - there's a 75% off discount on one of the games that I have played for like 500 hrs  and loved so much - Fallout New Vegas. At first excitement fills me coz owning it on steam will allow me the convenience of a marketplace for mods (It has a marketplace right?)

By the way mods for this game deserve a special mention, if the game didn't have a super excellent community which developed fantastic mods like Project Nevada to re-balance the game and toughen up your courier a bit if he/she has to survive the harshness of the wasteland. Nevada skies for the lovely effecrs,  EVE for essential visual enhancements, NMC's_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas about which the_name_says_it_all_doesn't_it?, Weapons mods expanded (WMX...love it) and many more honorary mentions. These mods here and their makers have enhanced one of the best games of this generation so much so that they made me stick to FONV for like a couple hundred more hours after my initial say 400 hours in to the game. Salute

Ok back to when I saw this steam update and to when my thought went to the next ugly one, DAMN You Microsoft and Bethesda for not selling it here in India!!!! You see some of the suits at Microsoft (could be from India) might have known that Brahmin (as its written in English but pronounced Brahman at least in India) is a caste of people amongst Hindu's which has what at least 25 different cast's?!?!? and the suites probably felt that releasing a game like FO3 in India might get a negative backlash because of the whole cows being holy for Indians and giving them the name brahmin might upset some Brahman Indians (who are supposed to be upper caste people compared to say a dalit but who both peddle taxis, work in factories and what not in 2008 the year when Microsoft took the decision to not launch Fallout3 in India. Anyways, two headed cows being called Brahmins did not even cause a small stir in the pot that's our world and I bet not a single suite/dev at Bethesda or MS got an email ranting about naming mutated cows as brahmins. 

Ok Fallout1 and Fallout2 are still on sale and so are some more games that have been the definition of cool at their time of release. So you can head on over to Steam here to check the quakecon discount yourself. You can also click on the image to go there.

Some of you may think how do I know that no one gave or will give a fuck (at least much of a fuck ) it's because I am a Brahman myself and interplay's small pun on cows being holy to Indians back in what 1998-99 does not upset me one bit and and a majority of my gaming friends from India feel the exact same damn way, It's time Beth lifted this some of the old american laws like You may not drive barefooted or putting salt on a railroad might be punishable by death level stupid decision of theirs and release both FO3 and FONV here with massive discounts. Me? I have played both but dont ask me how? ;)

Perfect swing uh huh, go get yourself a
sunset sasperila now

Also, a part of me is very very very very scared that when Fallout 4 eventually comes out they might make the same moronic mistake and once again I have to resort to means best kept to myself to get a copy of the game....
