Abstract

In recent years, the Iranian government has begun a systematic effort to make the computer game industry in Iran one of the drivers of the country’s social and economic development. This chapter discusses the development of the computer game industry in Iran and concludes that overzealous government policies to counter Western cultural influences in the Islamic Republic have worked as a constraining force for the full development of the industry.
