the australian thing looks like they're just being bitches about it.

the difference is Australia does it without lawsuits, claims, bullshit like that. Some people who were on the rating's board saw a problem with the rating, so they fixed it. None of this class-action bullshit.

couldn't they have just reclassified it instead of denying it a classsification altogether - or are they sending a message to other game producers not to make the same silly mistakes as rockstar?

I was under the impression that Australia had no games rating higher than 15, so any adult games just got banned out of hand.

So, then, why don't they have a national firewall for all adult related sites? Is there a thriving porn industry in Australia? Seems like a bit of selective targeting of one industry.
