Silent Hill f has just been officially banned in Australia after being refused classification by the Australian government.
According to the official classification website, the game was deemed to exceed the limits of the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings, meaning it cannot be sold, advertised, or even legally imported into the country. In short: No one in Australia will be able to buy it through official channels.
Refused classification (RC) status is typically reserved for content that is considered well beyond generally accepted community standards, although the exact reasoning behind this decision has not been detailed publicly.
The info was first spotted by @SilentHillSin and later confirmed via classification.gov.au.
For fans in Australia, this is a frustrating blow, and it remains to be seen if the developers will submit a modified version for reclassification or not.
