EA Spokeswoman Hits Back at Australian Classification Board Published by forahobby on Monday, September 28, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,
Electronic Arts, the retail distributor for Left 4 Dead 2 weighed in against The Australian classification board's refusal of Left 4 Dead 2, and it's not as mild as the "pretty bummed" Valve offered last week
EA spokeswoman Tiffany Steckler, speaking to GameSpot Australia, implied "Left 4 Dead 2's" violent content is not beyond the pale of Australia's home grown entertainment fare.
"It's funny that a place like Australia, which has come up with some pretty violent material in the past with something like Mad Max, can effectively ban video games for the same reason," she said. "EA believes that adults should have the right to make their own choices when it comes to the content they consume."
She declined to comment when asked if any changes were coming to the game, following the board's refusal to classify it at MA 15+, its highest rating. The games industry has for some time now pleaded for Australia to adopt a higher classification rating to permit more mature content to be sold Down Under. Last year's original Left 4 Dead was given an MA 15+
