I think they were one of the places where Fallout took out child models so players couldn't kill them
Comment on WTF?! Players in AU have to use a CC for age verification via steam just to view "violent" games!

Australia has been weird about “violent video games” for some time now, haven’t they? I seem to remember GTA and maybe Fallout games having to be censored for the Australian market.

It’s not just video games. Their movie, television and video game rating review board are made up of old prudish boomers who consider a sneeze in the wind as offensive.
There have been some articles about how most politicians are fine with everything that happens and that voters have become numb to it or found ways to just circumnavigate the blocking.
I guess some people do not enjoy freedom as much as others.

There are basically two things you can’t do in a videogames here.
Sexual Violence - it’s just not allowed, the South Park scene falls here.
Realistic and/or beneficial depictions of drug use - This is where Morphine to Med-X falls.
Violence hasn’t been an issue an ~15 years, but used to be an issue since we didn’t have an R18 rating for games, they topped out at MA15+, so violence had to top out at what was acceptable for a 15 year old and no more, but that’s a thing of the past.

It seems you’re more intent on insulting Australians and sparking outrage than actually discussing the issue. Have a good day.
