      That’s a real bummer, I thought Australia was less restrictive than the US. You can’t say fuck on TV or radio here.

        Nah, Australia is extremely restrictive. Where in the US you can publish anything, with company policies being the only thing responsible for restricting adult games (on consoles), Australia refuses to allow publication or importation of any game they haven’t rated, and they refuse to rate anything over… I want to say 17 year old acceptability? I’m not sure how that works with something like steam games, but I wouldn’t be shocked to find out they block adult titles there too.

        9/10 times when I’ve seen someone complain about their “nanny state”, it’s been Australia due to this policy.
