I personally think its quite funny how our government can't see that it is breeding pirates and thieves, by that i mean i am DEFINATELY going to get this game, i live in australia and if i cant get it by other means i will probably pirate it.
My point? the only reason i know how to pirate and where to get pirated games from is because of the stupid cencorship laws, a game comes out that i want im going to figure out how to get it, if we had an R rating it would never have given me a reason to search for illigal ways to attain the game in the first place and i still wouldnt know.
Dont get me wrong i have nothing against paying for games, and i would easily spend money on a game as much as i enjoyed as left for dead but im sure many people out there arent quite so happy to spend money on games and will just go on pirating.
Get an R rating, reduce the ammount of people that will try and beat the system and get the game anyway, you are losing tax and the developers are losing money.

It sucks for any Aussie like myself with a old computer, because you could get it off steam but if your computer is old it won't run at all...
This is truly awfull. I am thinking a care package of L4D2s' needs to be sent to these poor people. Come people, give your copies to these poor Australians. Think of the children, won't somebody please think of the children. And OMFG, how will Yahzee review it if its banned? Nooooooooooo ;-;
And more guns, special infected, melee weapons... (5 hours later) ...Characters Improved AI (Including the AI director) etc,etc.DeadlyGlitch said:

Actually Yatzee did review L4D and he thought it was good so I win, end of story.
The stupidest thing of all is that we will still get it and play it in OZ like we do with all games. The only thing actual effect of our backwards law is to deny Australian game retailers the opportunity to sell the product.... Genius...
I don't know if this was said already or not, but maybe you aussies (including Yahtzee) could get it at "GAME TRADERS ROBINA?"
(followed by playing it at "YOUR FRIEND GUY'S HOUSE?")

To fellow Australians, I want some co-ordination here; are we going after Conroy or the OFLC first?
Unfortunately there's a difference between "importing a game that simply hasn't been released yet" and "importing a game that was refused classification". GameTraders could get themselves into some legal hot-water by importing with the intent to sell.Optimystic said:
Try not to take it out on the typical aussie, we dont get to make any sort of decisions in our political system. If you need proof of this, check out the forced net censorship plan being put in place by Steven Conroy, more info can be found here http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet/442
Anyway, we have over 100,000 signatures to that petition, and we all protested, but that changed absolutely nothing. I dont think we have ever had a serious protest against film and video game classification, but i can bet there would be less than 100,000 people. When you think about it, our government is kinda fascist. They have taken so many of our freedoms and they will not listen to reason.
For further reading on the governments atrocities, look up the firearm buyback in the 90's, which almost completely disarmed citizens and allowed street gangs to go unchallenged.
Pathetic.

NOOOOOOO GODDAMN YOU OFLC
Seriously I hate Michael Atkinson, he is such a massive tool, why can't we just get a R18+ rating. There was a survey conducted by a university stating that a majority of people didn't care about an 18+ rating and he ingnored it because it was funded by a gaming group.
