We have just recently discovered that EA’s new Syndicate reboot, has been Refused Classification in Australia.
We’re currently attempting to get in contact with EA locally, and with the Classification Board to find out precisely why this is the case, and will update the story with more details as we get them.
Thanks to Luke Lawrie

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at 5:37 PMWhat a disgrace. This makes me so angry.
I was just going to purchase the game from EB. I think i’ll order the collectors edition online now.
Have we not passed new legislation preventing this sort of crap from occurring?
Evidently the government still thinks this ridiculous prohibition actually works and somehow benefits society.
ARRRRRGH!!!

Have fun banning stuff I guess.

First good decision ever. Bring on Paradox’s Cartel.
