Zombie survival game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:DayZ has had its application for classification in Australia rejected, due💦 to its content being considered “against the standards of morality.” The title has been refused a classification on all platforms, meaning Australians won’t be able to play it anytime𝔍 soon, despite it previously being classified as MA 15+.
A post on the shows that the 🌌game was submitted by Five ꦍStar Games Pty Ltd and has been marked as refused classification.
It gives a reason code of Game 1(a), which is described as video games that "depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classiꦜfied.”
It's unclear as to how the board have reached this decision, especially when other games dealing with the issues highlighted in the description above, such as Grand Theft Auto V, have been classified.
DayZ is a zombie survival game which began life as an ARMA mod. It’s now a stand-alone game, developed and published by Bohemia Interactive. It w⛎as originally released back in 2013 through Steam’s Early Access program. The Windows version finally came out of early access in December 2018 and was followed by a PlayStation 4 an🧔d Xbox One release in early 2019.
The confusing part oဣf the title’s refusal is that it has previously been accepted and rated at just 15+ prior to this latest application.
A seꦜarch of the Australian Classification results shows that in October 2018 it was . There are also classification reports for , and whic🧔h all give the title the same MA 15+ rating.
With the history above, it's unclea𒁃r as to what has changed with the latest ♌application.
The only noticeable differences are that the applicant was Five Star Games Pty Ltd, rather than IARC and the publisher is listed as Sold Out, rather than Bohemia Interactive (who are s💜till listed as🍒 authors).
DayZ is not the first game to fall foul of the strict board, who previously refused , before later classifying it as MA 18+.
