CRIMECRAFT: The zealous ratings board in Australia have refused classification (basically, banned) persistent shooter CRIMECRAFT.
Why have the Aussies done such a thing? That would be because the game features “drug use related to incentives or rewards”. So, now you know. Hit Kotaku AU for more.
Back in June, when I interviewed CRIMECRAFT’s Mike Donatelli, I asked him about the game’s drugs and he had this to say:
“gamebunny:
Can you really craft drugs in the game? Are you worried about a possible backlash from puritanical America?Mike Donatelli:
Yes you can. We call them boosts primarily and they go by the name of K-dust, Climax etc. As far as backlash that’s why the wonderful folks at the ESRB gave us the mature rating!”
