No. Civilization 4 is illegal in Iran, as are most games made in the US, due to the US embargo.

OK, so after I see what's on in Amazon China (Formerly know as joyo), it seems that the publisher of Chinese version is Ceasia itself.

Sorry, but we in China have a name for this, pseudo-copyrighted （伪正版）.

It is quite complicated. At first we may imagine some Orwellian fat Chinese censors who said, "No! We cannot allow western capitalist opium in our great country." But things got different here. For example, the banning of Google back in 2002 contributed to the rise of Baidu Inc.(NASDAQ:BIDU) the banning of youtube contribute to the rise of various Vlog websites in China.

Banning of foreign cultural products is not only an ideological weapon, it is also a market weapon.

It is mainly because of the leader's avatar and the leader's name.
毛泽东----Mao zedong, shouldn't be made such cartoon style. Ridiculous uh?

What is your defination of pseudo-copyrighted? The Chinese version was authorize by 2k.

 

[plarq]

Are you sure of that because the website claimed so?

Do people receive a valid serial number from 2k Games?

Does this repackaging get permission of 2k Games?

Does the Chinese translation have official support from 2k Games?

 

[Great Cyrus]

hey hey this topic is for ask and question, not game

 

[eoc]

OKOK, let's keep asking.

Are you an Iranian boy Great Cyrus?

 

[plarq]

hey hey this topic is for ask and question, not game

But if the game is legal in Iran, why did you ask for download in CFC?

Edit:

It is mainly because of the leader's avatar and the leader's name.

Civilization III was published in China once, they renamed China to "Nine Bronze Nation" and Mao to Tang Taizong.
