A ban that doesn't apply to torrent sites, good for those living there who still want to play it.

Wonder how the piracy rates in Australia will look for Fallout 3. . .

 

[thilanliyan]

Hmm..never thought about that. I guess they have an excuse now to pirate it. Well, I suppose they could buy it from overseas.

So people getting their head blown off is okay....as long as they don't see someone taking drugs! Good to see it's not just the US that has fucked up censorship.

Lame. I say we ban Australia from... being awesome.

lol

haha poor aussies.
funny thing is, here in NZ they use the 'banned in Australia' as a marketing gimmick on some games. a few years ago I went into blockbuster to rent a couple of games and saw rows of the game 'BMX XXX' on the shelves with a huge yellow stripe across the case saying "Banned In Australia!" along with the R18 sticker on it.

Comment of the day, in regards to the pickpocketing children and the stigma you would get if you attacked them:

I used to walk through that area carrying nothing but armed explosives, and watching them disappear from my inventory...Technically if they steal a bomb from you and it goes off later, that's not actually your doing, and you don't get flagged.

Soooo not right.
