    I really hope Valve leaves a gaping hole to patch so obvious that a child could figure out how. I hope they provide a "De-censor" as an installable package.

    I also hope for malted milk balls to rain from the sky. #left4dead2

    So Valve won't develop games on the PS3 because of a fear that those games will have insufficient quality but they'll do this?

    Seems a little hypocritical to me.

    @penciledcookie: The highest age restriction in Australia is 15, so you could call it a T-Rated game. #left4dead2

    I like the Censored L4D2.

    No, really! I don't go for blood and gore in games. It's not art if you care more about the gore then anything else.

    I may be the only one who wants an FPS game where you don't have to kill anyone. (Yes! Just like Batman) #left4dead2

    I guess this means that Australian L4D players will be segregated from players in other countries cause nobody is going to want to play with them? #left4dead2

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: we already are because of our slow Internet connections and high ping.

    Playing on non-Australian servers is downright painful. Now we're going to have to play on modified AU servers to make sure everyone has the uncensored version. Non-Aussies should barely be effected. #left4dead2

    i always feel bad when i read how Australian gamers get the short end of the stick because they have a poor rating system in place .

    but i guess everywhere is censored or at least influenced by the government in some way and that can be helped but i always dream of a day when games and movies can be seen as equals and of course when people start learning to take responsibility for their own acts and not rush to blame everyone else for the fact that little Timmy has some social issues because he played GTA when it says on the box that it is not meant to be played by him.

    but until then i guess everyone get screwed because people don't take responsibility for their actions.

    so if Australians were really pissed about this there is always a way to either get around the issues or change the rules . i guess time will tell #left4dead2

    @sereal_killer:
    The way to change the rules is to have Michael Atkinson change his mind (impossible) or removed from office (possible but not able to be done until at least next year and would require us to convince the Labor party to remove him as the candidate for his seat in Croydon, because the Liberal party will not be able to win it).

    Short version: without political trickery, we can't do much.

    Unless we can combine the SA premier to nominate a new Attorney General. . . #left4dead2

    @TrjnRabbit: yea i know that it is difficult and i hope more people see the problem and not only gamers .

    but i am only saying that when there is a will there is a way . its just hard to accomplish . but i am hoping you guys eventually succeed and can be given a fair game rating system.

    i'm in the Netherlands so even the Americans obsession with censorship regarding anatomy boggles my mind when they are fine with flying body parts and acts that when executed in reality actually do cause harm unlike sex and nudity.

    so i just don't seem how some people can be so close minded.

    but i'm hoping games get the same respect as any other form of media (eventually) #left4dead2

    Still looks good but AU shouldn't have thrown such a shitfit over a game. The government could focus on more pressing matters than a game.

    Then again there's always importing. #left4dead2
