Said Doug Lombardi, the Valve spokesman, to Shacknews:
We were surprised to hear of this news yesterday. Obviously, everyone at Valve is pretty bummed. It would be a shame if folks in Australia, or anywhere else, are unable to purchase Left 4 Dead 2 because of a ratings issue.
Indeed it would, but that’s gonna be the case unless the Classification Board reconsiders (unlikely?) or Valve changes the content (even less likely?).

Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 9:55 AMIt makes me sick to think that in the 40′s thousands of good Australians gave their lives fighting Nazi Germany and fascist Italy trying to put and end to their totalitarian systems… well here we are now run by a fascist police state where the voice of the people means nothing and the voice of one man determines the fate of an entire nation. god forbid “free” Australians have the right to choose what material we expose ourselves to… burn the books! I mean computer games… don’t forget the government has no power without the governed.
