However, your case study on GTA IV states that it was initially refused classification, which is incorrect. Rockstar self-censored the game and only ever submitted an edited version. I felt that this was a great disservice to Australian gamers, since all of the violent content that was removed has appeared in other games that were not banned or edited released both before and since GTA IV. Rockstar submitted the game in December, which would have given them plenty of time to make any requested edits before the April release date, but it seems they were more concerned about saving a couple of thousand dollars not having to resubmit the game if anything was objected to than give Australian gamers the closest version the expeience as it was originally intended.

Anyway, I’ve rambled on enough, keep fighting the good fight!
