Australia bans a lot of games and they banned the Gothic series because you get xp for smoking weed.

Let's ban Saints Row too because you can kill women.

Also because it's poo poo.

So it's the violence against women who are also prostitutes that's problem.So violence against women that aren't prostitutes is ok then? :confused:

dont worry target is a bad place with bad prices - the only exception is amiibos which are exceptionally cheap for some reason at target
and there are lots of other places online and offline to buy this game in australia

Yeah, this is the dumbest thing.

K Mart also jumped on the wagon and no longer stock the game. Which makes sense from a business point of view, department stores strongest audience aren't the people checking out the gaming section, it's the people making the complaints... And they're probably parents.

The fact that a bunch of dummy gamers are having a poo poo fit about it is Target and K Mart probably sold the game 5-10 cheaper than JB HiFi (who price matches) and 10-15 cheaper than GAME.

Just pay a little extra, and get it elsewhere.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
