They will have a loss of money,but not that much because in Pakistan there are a lot of pirated versions than original ones,in fact Pakistan is one of the foremost countries when it comes to piracy of third party software(video games,software) along with countries such as Thailand,Malaysia,Sri Lanka etc.
on the consoles GTA V can easily outsell CoD,but there will be somewhat of a competition for the PC,but release dates matter the most. next what matters is the system requirements.
Black Ops 2 is purely fictional and i don't know why Pakistan ban black ops 2.It has only one map of Lahore and there is only one mission related to pakistan,and it's not about any terrorist "hotbed",just about some rogue isi agents who are carrying out an alliance with a terrorist.The Pakistani government has always been paranoid when it comes to media reporting and entertainment.Anyway Warfighter has some heavy involvement with pakistan,the developers probably did it to give the gamers a more realistic feeling,and besides some of the missions are true.In fact the game is a mix of fiction and reality where the developers had even discussed with some tier 1 operators about some missions,tactics etc. and that is where pakistan comes into the game.It's quite true that MOH Warfighter portrays somewhat of a bad image about Pakistan,especially in the mission where an Arab informant tells that the ISI is protecting a terrorist/gun smuggler and in that mission the player is made aware that he is encountering ISI undercover agents who are protecting the terrorist whom the Arabian informant mentioned to the US Navy SEALs.If i was a Pakistani i would definitely feel depressed about it(Or frustrated if I am a hard-line Patriot).I once played a Chinese game where the player assumes the role of some chinese spec ops veteran fighting his way through American soldiers to unveil some classified data or something.I could remember how Americans expressed their disgust over the game eventhough it was fictional.Anyways EA and Activision aren't expecting a high budget from countries like Pakistan,especially South Asian countries where piracy is at a high rate when it comes to games and movies,even if the Pakistani government bans them,there is not much of a loss to EA and Activision,and they probably don't ship their products very often to countries like Pakistan.
This is just stupid,the NRA blamed the gaming industry in order to divert the attention of the public towards the gaming industry while they could relieve themselves from their responsibilities regarding to issues like this.And now a senator makes another stupid statement about "Violent video games".Gaming is not something very much secluded to USA.Countries such as Japan and Singapore have exceptionally large gaming communities,yet massacres like in the USA do not happen much frequently in these countries.If playing Violent Games is one of the main reasons behind these kind of frequent shootings and Massacres,then why is it so much related to USA and NOT to countries such as Japan,Singapore,France,Belgium,Denmark etc.?Gaming is the perfect choice for an excuse to a problem like handling weapons and killing people,and people like this senator and the members of the NRA know it.Maybe in the near future,countries like the USA will ban gaming entirely and arm their military personnel with controllers,joysticks,mouses,keyboards,consoles,gaming PCs and the ammunition for them will be the so-called "Violent Games" lol.The general purpose of gaming is entertainment and not reverse-psychology counselling nor weapon training.When talking about gun control,I could even make my own nuclear weapon without any obligation in USA,and if I set off a nuclear explosion I wouldn't be amazed if the NRA and people such as Lamar Alexander blame "Violent video games" for teaching gamers about nuclear weaponry and warfare.
