Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why
-
Good luck banning torrents you crotchety old fuckers.
-
They banned Rim World for a little bit as well, although not banned for now as there was some pushback. Be interesting to see if this games gets the same treatment after awhile.
They probably thought it was a game about eating ass

Don't forget to use a VPN so you don't get traced by copyright lawyers! They often seed torrents in the name of gathering IPs to take action against.
That doesn't really work in Australia.
AFAIK Dallas Buyers Club was the last major case and the conditions the courts placed on any contact caused the rights holders to decide it wasn't worth the bother.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-35547045The court told them they could buy the infringer's contact details as a bulk lot that averaged $127 per person. But only if they invoiced for $127 + whatever the they were charging for the film. In addition the court would need to review and approve any draft correspondence and call scripts.
All up it feels like the court was taking the most hostile interpretation of the law to protect individuals from being harassed by the business. Good stuff.

Australia is pretty censorship heavy is it not? They banned Cannibal Corpse until 2006. I mean no disrespect to any Aussie's reading this.
None taken, I still get embarrassed when I remember they banned GTA V cuz it had weed in it, got brought back quickly with an R18+ rating games couldn't get up until then coincidentally.

Didn't even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There's no official "time to announce your games" part of the year anymore.
It was bundled in the announcement of all the silent hill games coming. Which was mostly overshadowed by the SH2 remake.

RimjobWorld is a lewd framework for mods for that game, if you didn't know

Japanese schoolgirls is a big NO-NO in Australia
Jokes aside, this is the first time I hear about this game, watching trailer I immediately thought about "When They Cry", and then I read this from article: "Silent Hill f is being developed by Neobards Entertainment (which has previously served as a support studio for Capcom's Resident Evil games), with creature and character design by Kera, and a script by When They Cry writer Ryukishi07." So now I'm hyped!Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I'm interested in seeing more about the game.

Wait is that not a typo
At least according to Wikipedia, the "f" at the end is indeed part of the intended game name.

That explains Canada.
They put all of theirs into a random goose.
Aren't we forgetting the NHL is a thing

Government regulations are better than companies deciding what's allowed.

They updated the article. Good.
It's just waiting for clarification.

Good thing it wasn’t actually banned.

I see that. We'll just have to see

Barely. Probably equally bad in some cases.
An educated citizenry that actively participates in government is the best solution, but we know that’s almost impossible for multiple reasons.
