I know the chances of getting busted are low but it would be nice to legally import Mortal Kombat.

I wonder if some current M15+ games will have they're rating changed? God of War III for example, I was glad it got through our classification system but also surprised.

It's like one day they're lazy and completely overlook the violence in some games xD

This is good news, took a little bit but finally 18+

Scottis, there's always Ebay. But it is great that we're going to get an 18+ rating now.

I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?

Microsoft seems only interested in maximizing profits through its biggest IPs at this point.

So soon? Its been 5 years since Gears 5, longest gap between games in the franchise.

I was hoping for better but Microsoft being safe again....

Why would people be less angry? If MS made it's own games instead of buying up what was already available then we wouldn't be in the situation that everyone is angry at.

MS is the problem.

Just forget what happened and keep supporting Microsoft!

Supporting Microsoft wouldn’t help Xbox

Fuck MS and Phil. I already told that shit bag off on Twitter, if the dumb ass responds I highly doubt it, I will go off much worse. What a fucking disgrace MS and Phil are to the gaming community.
