A
post on the Undead Labs forums have word that
State of Decay is being
refused classification by the Australian ratings board, following shortly after
news that Saints Row
IV was refused classification under the country's rating system, which was
recently revised to include an
adult R18+ rating. As a result, while the games will be legal to own in
Australia, they cannot be publicly sold there. The post explains: "We've run
afoul of certain prohibitions regarding the depiction of drug use. We're working
with Microsoft to come up with options, including changing names of certain
medications in the game to comply with ratings requirements. Whatever our path
forward, it's going to take a bit." Thanks
Player Attack, where, on a related note,
they have a follow-up on the Saints Row IV situation, saying the problem
with the game is the inclusion of an "alien anal probe." In spite of this being
implied and blurred, apparently there's a fear of copycat crimes once alien
anal probes are actually invented.
