Outlast 2 BANNED

...but i am a "super adult."
I am so glad that the conservatives in Texas has not passed similar laws against video games.

God damn, I would love to have that jacket that Ashley has, minus the N7 patch since I hate stuff like that on clothing in general

First Australia bans guns,

now they ban video games.

Whats next, they gonna ban serving soda in cups bigger than 20oz?

well i guess its time to import it, sigh

It's kind of stupid that they bring in an R18+ rating and then ban a game that has some sexual violent scenes. Basically implying that adults over the age of 18 are incapable of making their own decisions about what they are and aren't offended by. 

Just FYI, MP = Member of Parliament, not Prime Minister (PM)

Urgh, living in Australia it is so frustrating to see this bullshit all the time. Get those old fogies out of the classification board. Bunch of fucking pussies. They can't complain about games torrenting if you are going to take away our choice what we can or can't watch as adults.

Wasn't that interested in buying this game, but am now importing out of spite Mother Fucker!   

Aiya, I love my sunblessed country...most of the time...
Laughter and Sunshine!

Sorry to hear about that for those in Australia.

Personally, I think it should be up to the consumer whether if they should play the game or not.  Isn't that what the rating systems are for like the ESRB.  To tell consumers what is in the game before playing it that people might not agree with.  If people don't agree with it than don't buy it.  Taking away personal responsibility and having a government body doing it is never good.  Personal responsibility comes with growing up and being a functional adult. 

We have known for years that violent video games do not lead to violence, are going to have to do to the same for sexual content in video game isn't bad either?

I wonder, will gifting games to your friends in Australia through say Steam or using Steam sharing get pass the ban?  

There should never be a censoring of the media in a way that the uncensored version is not available to the consumers who are legally allowed to make choices of what they can and can't see. If you are considered an adult capable of making decisions, you should be allowed to make said decisions. If there is sufficient warning on the product, then there is nothing wrong with the people who choose to ignore those warnings being exposed to it. What this is an equivalent to, is if rather than putting the warning label on a cup of hot coffee, you refuse to allow coffee to be sold because someone might get burned even after reading the warning label that says it's hot......

Though I have little interest in the Outlast franchise, I will say that our Classification board is such a pain with their irksome mother-henning. How precisely how they remain an entity using their outdated methods is, much like the CEO of the NBN's statement "Australia doesn't need fast internet", quite baffling.
