A trio of reports obtained by IGN have detailed the offending portions of South Park: The Stick of Truth that caused the game to be refused classification by the Australian Classification Board not once, but twice.
Ubisoft’s first two attempts to have South Park: The Stick of Truth rated for Australian release were unsuccessful; the original version was refused classification on September 19 and a modified version was also refused classification on November 7. A further modified version was eventually rated R18+ by the ACB on November 21.
The Classification Board notes in its September 19 report “pursuant to the Guidelines for the Classification of computer games, computer games will be refused classification if they contain: Descriptions or depictions of child sexual abuse or any other exploitative or offensive descriptions or depictions involving a person who is, or who appears to be, a child under 18 years.”
