Hah, yeah you're right. The game is getting banned over simulated-simulated sexual violence. Twice removed.

I think your disconnect here is equating 'tolerance' with 'support'. Tolerating something says nothing about any ones support for anything.

Putting aside your ridiculous notion that players will be social identifiers with the protagonist, it's also not the authors responsibility to make anyone feel wanted, unwanted, or anything else. Their only 'job' is to sell games. Their only morality is the laws in the country they are marketing to. As far as I can see, the ratings board of Australia doesn't have the power to enforce legislation, let alone morality, so it seems they are overstepping their bounds by de-facto 'banning' the game.

Good on you Calm Gamer. As a citizen of a 'free' country, that's your right. Just be glad that your parents can no longer tell you that PG13 movies are just too scary.

If you're an Australian on the other hand, it looks like you'll never have that freedom. I've said it before and I'll say it again: F Australia.

Props to rappin your top 10, fuck ya

I love the time period. Skipped unity (so far) but I'll give this a shot

@patrickklepek - I found the following an absolutely fascinating take on Internet celebrity (and Phil Fish). Totally worth a watch:

@wrecks: I'm with you here. Somehow simulating loss, while I'm sure it will elicit an emotional response from just about anyone, it just doesn't sound fun. Hopefully they will inject some 'fun' somehow - gone home had a lot of neat stuff to discover and read, and to me, that was enough 'fun' for me.

I dunno man, Merriam-Webster states that witch is a gendered term: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/witch

Mushrooms are a game about synaesthesia for those who don't actually have synaesthesia.
