jan 1, 2013 - Saints Row IV New R18+ rules rating

Description:

Despite changes in the Australian Classification Board to adopt rules to use the R18+ rating for video games in January 2013, Saints Row IV was the first video game under these new rules to be denied classification, due to the presence of drug use and an in-game alien anal probe weapon.[151] Volition eliminated these elements from the game to obtain a MA15+ rating by removing the mission these elements were used in, thus rendering the game's co-operative mode incompatible with versions from other countries.
