Games worth discovering
I am extremely disappointed and offended by a serious issue I found in this game. As a Muslim player who genuinely enjoyed Garena Free City, I was shocked and heartbroken to see that the game includes a black cube-like structure with a palm tree on top, placed inside a nightclub environment. For anyone who follows Islam or understands Islamic architecture, this immediately resembles the Holy Kaaba, the most sacred site in Islam.
Let me make this absolutely clear: the Kaaba is not a cube for decoration. It is the holiest site in Islam, located in Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Over a billion Muslims around the world face it in prayer five times a day. It represents unity, worship, and complete devotion to God. It is not something that can or should be copied for visual design inside a club, surrounded by music, dancing, flashy lights, and weapons.
Even if this was not intended to represent the Kaaba, the resemblance is so strong that it cannot be ignored. Developers need to realize that intent does not always matter — the impact does. And the impact here is clear: Muslim players are feeling hurt, insulted, and disrespected by the careless inclusion of a Kaaba-like structure in such an inappropriate setting.
This is not just a matter of "being sensitive" — it's about basic respect. If this same treatment had been given to a church altar, a cross, a Hindu temple, or any other sacred symbol, the reaction would have been equally strong — and rightly so. Then why is it always Islam that has to tolerate such offensive design choices?
I strongly urge the developers and design team of Garena Free City to take immediate action. You must:
Remove or redesign the Kaaba-like structure from the game.
Publicly clarify that you respect religious sentiments and will avoid such mistakes in the future.
Show your global player base that you understand and value cultural and religious diversity.
If this issue is ignored, I and many other concerned Muslim players will not hesitate to:
Uninstall the game
Leave honest negative reviews
Share this issue publicly across social media
Report this to the relevant platforms and religious organizations
We do not hate the game. We hate the disrespect it has shown. You can fix this and regain our respect — but only if you act quickly and sincerely.
This is not just about a building. This is about the heart of a religion. Respect it. Or lose those who do.

You said resembles, but its not what they had in mind when they put it there. Just because it looks like the sacred stone from your religion doesn't mean they meant to copy it.
