The International Mobile Gaming Awards removed — then restored — Iranian games

On Monday, the International Mobile Gaming Awards announced 52 nominees for IMGA MENA, its second annual competition for games developed in the Middle East and North Africa. Then on Tuesday, the list dropped to 36. For about a day, all the nominations from Iran disappeared. IMGA has now reinstated the nominees, citing initial problems with a license agreement.

The agreement is between IMGA MENA and its partners, the data and mobile services provider Zain Jordan and the game studio Maysalward.
