Banning means dick all if people want to play it pretty sure they have found away to skate around the ban and are enjoying the game right now. Australia seriously needs to lighten up when it comes to videogames so glad I don't live there. I still believe it is up to me to decide if I want a game banned from my house or not due to the subject material in it. I really hate it when people take it upon themselves and decide to censor or alter stuff for me. Like Martha is Dead because Sony censored some shit in it I grabbed the game on the Xbox and I am enjoying it.

They banned The Medium for being crap.

They can just torrent the game on PC and play it. If torrent sites are banned there use a VPN or go old school and use a newsgroup. You have to pay but it's more than worth it.

ChiefofLoliPolice1145d ago

I've never heard of that. What's a newsgroup when it comes to getting past a game being banned.

lonewolf101145d ago

Download a copy like a torrent, newsgroups existed way before torrents became a thing.

ecchiless1145d ago

oh man those times, news groups, irc, hosting "pictures" to later join those with software to get the video, iso, rar.... emule, perfect dark.... xD

Yeah it was great, and going back even more really old school, the BBS. I remember my friend downloading SNES games from the BBS and putting the games on the super wild card. : https://commons.wikimedia.o... Then playing the games off a 1.44mb floppy 😁 Then there was of course renting games from Blockbuster and copying them from the cart. to the floppy.

The Australian classification board has been bassically been rendered obsolete to ban games when games became more digital honestly a quick region change is all it takes

Everyone seed the torrent of the game just to mess with the government.
