Despite being officially refused classification in Australia, Disco Elysium – A Final Cut is still readily available for purchase via Steam, with Aussies being able to buy it as recently as this morning.
Games don’t get banned all that often, and every time it happens there’s a surge of interest in Australia’s archaic classification system.

2020’s thrown a lot of normal things out of whack, and one of those things has been the regular cadence of classification reports.
