New Aliens Vs. Predator Game Doesn't Make It Past AU Ratings Board

Posted by Soulskill on from the gauntlet-thrown dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Australia refused to give Rebellion's new Aliens Vs. Predator game a rating, effectively banning it in the country. Rebellion says it won't be submitting an edited version for another round of classifications, however. (As Valve did with Left 4 Dead 2.) They said, 'We will not be releasing a sanitized or cut down version for territories where adults are not considered by their governments to be able to make their own entertainment choices.'"

    Jack Thompson, you've moved to slashdot. Your so called "public safety measure" is really censorship.
    Normally I'd tell you to get the hell out of my country but, well, you already did. So, good job. I commend you. Most people who live in the US throw away their freedom and ruin it for the rest of us. You actually did the proper thing and moved to a country where you don't have that freedom in the first place.

    Thank you, really, thank you.

    If you have blood on your hands you are doing it wrong.

    Guns let you have some standoff distance so you don't get splatter.
