Australian Government Bans New Syndicate Game

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 20, 2011 @08:43PM from the yes-this-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like the Australian Government's move to introduce a new R18+ classification for adult video games hasn't yet taken force, with video game maker EA confirming today that its reboot of the classic Syndicate series has been banned in Australia due to extreme violence. Left 4 Dead, Mortal Kombat and now Syndicate — what game will be banned next in Australia is anybody's guess."

Downloading it without paying for it instead of not buying it without paying for it does not punish the publisher at all.
