Hotline Miami 2 Dev to Australians: "Just Pirate It" [Jan 15, 2015, 8:12 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Via reddit, there's word on
Ars Technica confirming a practical, if profit-eating response from the
developer of Hotline Miami 2 to the game
being refused
classification in Australia. "If it ends up being not released in Australia,
just pirate it after release," designer Jonatan Söderström wrote in an email
reply. "No need to send us any money, just enjoy the game!" Devolver Digital
confirmed for Ars this is genuine, and
Fictional
Devolver CFO Fork Parker tweets a confirmation that this is legit as well.
"He’s said similar things in the past," a Devolver Digital PR rep told Ars. "And
yes, I can confirm he wants people to enjoy the game."
Simple answer is - I've got zero interest in any of those game scenarios you listed and would not buy and play those, same as 99.9% of gamers i reckon.
What you proposing thou is censorship and that is more dangerous then some sick individual fantasy game that no one wants and no one will buy and play. Please keep in mind that no one forcing you to buy and play Hotline Miami 2.
Going by your standards what would you propose to do with films like Unforgiven, Scarface, True Romance, Pulp Fiction and countless others that depict rape or other sexually violent content on screen? In Hotline Miami 2 THERE IS NO RAPE as a action of your character, its a slasher, stylized, pixelized action game that happens to have violent scenery as a backdrop. I call for reason that is all, lets get facts and context first before grabbing pitchforks and start calling for mob books burning.
