PlayStation suddenly pulls Hotline Miami 2 from Aussie PS5 owners after realising country's ratings board denied game's release a decade ago

Oh, absolutely. I was only commenting on the weird timing, the game was released 2 years after an adult rating for video games was implemented.

We definitely have an odd and often archaic view on things here in Aus. Personally I think the classifications should be a purely informative system rather than something that decides whether or not something should be banned. Films are given much more artistic leeway than video games, and I could rant for hours on the government's stance on gambling, which is much more harmful than most things you'd find portrayed in any artistic medium.
