Video games in Iran
Video games are among the most popular hobbies of Iranian youth.[1] There are about 23 million video game players in the country as of 2015.[2]
Economic sanctions against Iran have hampered Iranian video game developers and their participation in international trade. The sanctions prevent their licensing of major game engines. Among consumers, sanctions block use of major digital stores and limit access to credit cards.[3]
