After news media picked up the scent of strange retail happenings surrounding the legalities of selling unrated MMOs in Australia several days ago, IGN sought comment from Activision Blizzard - publishers of World of Warcraft. IGN today received an update from the US arm of the company with a prepared statement aimed at addressing any perceived confusion.
According to the Public Relations Manager at Blizzard Entertainment:
"Blizzard Entertainment and its affiliates work very closely with the Interactive Entertainment Association of Australia to ensure that we are in full compliance with Australian law as it relates to the distribution and operation of our games, including World of Warcraft. We'd like to reassure all of our players that World of Warcraft is currently, and has always been, distributed and operated legally in Australia."
We wish Blizzard and other publishers in the MMO field our best of luck as they sort out the often confusing legalities of the Australian Classifications system.
