Update, May 24: We Happy Few will be sold in Australia, following an appeal to overturn a ban by the country's classification board.
We Happy Few's Australian sales ban has been overturned following a successful appeal by the game's publisher, Gearbox. The game was initially refused classification in Australia due to its portrayal of drug use - We Happy Few tasks you with surviving without use of the fictional hallucinogenic drug Joy, which NPCs take to attempt to forget a shared trauma.
In a statement, developer Compulsion said that the game "explores a range of modern themes," and offers a "social commentary no different than Aldous Huxley's Brave New World or Terry Gilliam's Brazil."

In their , the Australian Classification Board stated that a three-member panel had unanimously determined that the game can be classified as R18+, allowing it to be sold in the country. The panel determined that the game's interactive drug use did not exceed 'high' levels, and that the game will be sold with a consumer advice label confirming its "fantasy violence and interactive drug use."

League of Legends' next big content patch is 8.14, introducing a whole host of new skins. It does, however, look like things are quite quiet on the balance change front right now, so there are no tweaks to champions, items, or runes just yet. That should change soon though, as lead champion designer Meddler says a hotfix for the newly-reworked Aatrox should appear soon.
What we do have, however, is a grand total of seven new skins. As well as gemstone exclusive Hextech Poppy, adding to a generous roster of Hextech champions (although you can only access her throguh LoL's crafting system. There are also six skins celebrating Samsung Galaxy's victory at Worlds 2017, one for each player (including their sub). Particular highlights, in my opinion, are the Taliyah and Xayah skins, although I do particularly enjoy Mega Gnar scoffing noodles from out of the Summoner's Cup itself. Who needs chopsticks?

We Happy Few will release in Australia following successful appeal

Added: 03.07.2018 15:31 | 1001 views | 0 comments


The Australian Classification Board has announced that, following a successful appeal by publisher Gearbox, Compulsion Games' psychedelic dystopian adventure We Happy Few will now receive a R 18+ classification, enabling the game to be sold in the country.
Back in May, We Happy Few was in Australia, effectively banning it from sale, after it fell foul of the ratings board's strict policies on drug use in games. The board claimed that its drug-use mechanic, which can make progress easier in some circumstances, "constitutes an incentive or reward for drug-use and therefore, the game exceeds the R 18+ classification that states, 'drug use related to incentives and rewards is not permitted'".
In response, Compulsion Games noted that We Happy Few's "overarching social commentary is no different than Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, or Terry Gilliam's Brazil", highlighting that the game unfolds in a world where use of the drug Joy is mandated by the authorities, and that "the whole point of the game is to reject this programming and fight back".
