DayZ banned in Australia for alleged in-game weed use

"A few days ago, there was some controversy surrounding DayZ and its physical release being blocked in Australia. Now we know that the reasoning behind the Australian Classification Board’s decision for having DayZ banned in Australia. According to the board, “illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards” was the why the game got the axe." Gamerevolution says.

Nanny State

[Eonjay]

Not even. Just stupid distraction. And demonizing weed, especially fake virtual weed, shouldn't even be a thing.
Nanny states are about overtly telling people how they need to live or banning products they think you shouldn't have.
This is just political spin to avoid talking about real issues. It is deception. Everyone know that cigarettes are more harmful than weed so their is no point to even talking about blocking fake weed in video games.

Australia IS turning into a nanny state, though. Especially when it comes to video games

[Hungryalpaca]

Australia is a nanny state.

Virtual killing in games; harmless.
Virtual weed smoking in games; NO! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

[BrainSyphoned]

So does video game marijuana use negate the violence of video games? Better keep weed in just in case.

Can someone please get these ridiculous cunts to fuck off? As an Australian I'm going to smoke a bowl right now in protest. Can't wait till these old fucks die off.

[SublimeStylee2]

Marijuana is 100% legal in my country and we are rated #1 quality of life. Oh Canada

[FunAndGun]

Will gladly join your protest and light a bowl as well. Can't say marijuana dosen't bring people together.

[Abnor_Mal]

United we stand, with bowl in hand.

[ShockUltraslash]

They will throw you in some concentration camp in the middle of the desert.
With snakes and spiders.

What a petty world

[The7Reaper]

That's funny, out of all the things that can kill you in Australia they fear nothing except digital media

[ziggurcat]

😐

[ajax17]

Could you repeat that, I believe I had something crazy in my ear.

Ole dungaroos don't like a Lil outback bush?

[Profchaos]

The bizarre thing is that the digital version received a rating and is on sale legally but the physical was banned

[The_Sage]

Wha?..

[Maisay]

Australia needs to get high.

[victorMaje]

Wow stupidism is really taking off everywhere...

[KillZallthebeast]

Surely now that this vial gateway game is banned all illegal activities will forever cease

[jznrpg]

That’s lame . I don’t smoke anymore but it’s sooo much better than alcohol it’s not even close.

[2ndhandcorn]

Good more for me to choof in my digital bong , im still high asf this game news does not bother me.

[Flewid638]

So you cant get weed in Australia?

Guess I'll be crossing that one off my list.

[Bleucrunch]

WoW who ever is in charge over there is NOT too bright on the common sense meter. Sheesh
