Okay I am going to start by saying that I have no hard facts yet. However, that being stated, it looks like Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 might get an Australian release with an MA15+ rating.
Now before we start cheering, we don’t know if it is an edited version or the uncut version. The only real information we have at this point comes from kotaku.com but a little birdie (that will remain nameless at this time) has told me this from another source as well.
I will keep my eye on the major news sources and report if I see any real hard news about this surfaces.
In the meantime, we really do need to keep up the effort to bring in an R18+ rating for games to Australia so this doesn’t happen again. Write to your state’s Attorney General and tell him that you want an R18+ rating brought in to effect in Australia. This is particularly important if you live in South Australia as it is your Attorney General who is keeping the R18+ classification from being brought forward. If enough people get involved we might be able to bring about change.
