This is ridiculous...

I just contacted Activision support about the game not being available in MENA region, and this is what they wrote back:

"Ignacio here from player support, I hope you are doing great! I apologize that crash 4 is not available for Steam Saudi Arabia, let me do my best to assist. In this case, we as player support, do not have information on why crash 4 is not available for Steam Saudi Arabia, you will have to check constantly if it ever gets to be available.

Thank you"

So even they don't know, smh...

Just to take a guess, and this is just a broad stab in the dark, cuz I have NO information about this game what so ever.

The one thing, that you can be sure will get something banned from your area, is Gay stuff. So, if there is a character in the roster, or in the storyline etc, that is portrayed as gay, theres your answer.

In order to avoid that, they would have to go the China route like KH with Winnie the Pooh.

I don't think that's the case cuz there isn't gay stuff in this game. But possibly for something else.

Regardless, they should inform us why it's not available and whether it's gonna be or not.

I agree, I was just giving a possible reason. It would also explain their reluctance to own up, if that is the case at all. Bad PR if they say stuff like that.

The game is available on all stores and platforms except Steam iirc. It even has some Arabic related files on SteamDB. I (THINK) the person who is responsible for pushing the game on Steam got so lazy to double check which regions did they select or maybe they are just incompetent. I've contacted Activision Blizzard's support but it seems to be just bunch of monkeys that don't know what they're talking about blaming Steam for the game's unavailability. They're claiming that we should contact Steam to make it available (Which is not true) I'm growing more frustrated as I write this post. Sorry if I missed up the sentences/structure.

TL;DR The person who pushed the game into Steam didn't do their job correctly and Activision Blizzard keeps deflecting that mistake onto Steam.
