Saints Row IV refused Australian classification for a second time

Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV has once again been blocked from release in Australia.
“A three-member panel of the Classification Review Board has unanimously determined that the computer game Saints Row IV is classified Refused Classification,” a new statement from the Australian Classification Board confirmed.
“In the Review Board’s opinion, Saints Row IV could not be accommodated within the R 18+ classification as drug use related to incentives and rewards is not permitted.”
Last month Saints Row IV became the first game to be banned in the territory since its introduction of a new supposedly mature-friendly R18+ certificate.
The Board said its decision then was based on “visual depictions of implied sexual violence which are not justified by context” and that “the game includes elements of illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards”.
It is unknown whether the game will be amended and re-submitted to the territory for a third attempt at classification.
