All games banned in Greece..
In an incredible turn of events, the govt. of Greece has enacted a law which explicitly forbids all electronic games with "electronic mechanisms and software" from public and private places. The law is being taken very seriously, and affects every type of video game, from popular consoles and PC games, to games on cell phones. Even the standard games that come with Windows are considered illegal. Offenders caught playing video games will face fines of about $4,980 to $74,650 US. People have already been fined tens of thousands of dollars for playing or owning games.
The move was taken in part as a response to the prevalence of illegal gambling through the internet. The reaction by gamers in Greece and elswhere is mainly shock and disbelief
