That sucks though, stupid governments! I hate how they can effectively ban certain games because they do not approve of their content. Censorship ftl!

Wasn't it GTA 4 that American politicians of a certain persuasion wanted to ban once they found out the character could pick up a female of a certain profession, drive to a secluded spot and engage in some extra-curricular activities.

Never mind the masses of violence, ability to randomly kill innocents, and glorification of gang culture, thats all fine per these politicians, but sex! Oh my god no!! That must be stopped at all costs less it corrupts the children!

doesn't TF2-Germany have like party mode enabled and locked so you can't change it. Everytime a body gibs it shows only balloons and confetti? Or was that another game i'm thinking of, i remember hearing germany had a game like that, not sure which title it was though but TF2 rings a bell

I would almost say showing balloons and confetti would be MORE harmful than blood and gore, cause if kids grow up shooting people and balloons come out, i'm gonna reckon a guess they will be pretty disappointed when they shoot 30 people at school and didn't find a single balloon to congratulate them

The thing is, they're trying to protect the kids, because the old faggot who is the head of the OFLC thinks only kids play games, which is wrong. If the game came out, and Australia had an R18+ rating, then it's the parents fault for buying an underage kid the game without even reading the classification. Why should the adults have to suffer, especially when they are the majority of gamers.

You realise I'm on your side and support this petition? My example was meant to mock American politicians and American politics in general.

I want to be a politician when I grow up so I can ban games like Barbie in Magicland because they are offensive and stuff.

Don't get me started on that shit. There's a lot more contributing to violent kids than the games they happened to play before hand.

You think I don't know that?

signed, though I live in New Zealand. I wonder if Valve will just turn a blind eye to a pirated version or something because surely nobody but the people who passed this ban think it's reasonable
