According to this story in Australian IT, the problem is that there is no R rating for games - MA15+ is the highest permissible and GTA3 exceeds that because it contains scenes of sexual violence." Aren't you glad Australia has a helpful rating system?

    Defending IP by destroying access to it? That makes sense, RIAA/MPAA. Go to the corner until you can play nice!
