Another game has been hit by the proverbial ban-hammer as The Australian Classification Board has refused classification for DayZ.
With the use of an illicit substance for a positive gain in-game the Bohemia Interactive almost-fovever-in-early-access title will simply not be accepted.
Now granted, The Classification Board is well within their rights to do this as per their 2013 created guidelines however are they correct? Should these guidelines be updated or altered?
Ryan and Josh sit down and debate the state of video game classification and whether improvements can be made.
