Halloween: The Game is banned in Australia because incentivized drug use is bad but incentivized ultra-violence…
Illfonic's upcoming multiplayer horror game, Halloween: The Game, has been banned in Australia and New Zealand by the Australian Classifications Board. The ban is not due to the presence of Michael Myers or the game's violence, but rather the incentivized depiction of controlled substance use, specifically marijuana, which grants survivors a gameplay advantage. This decision means the game will not be available for purchase in either country.
