Has Australia lost their mind? Retailers are now banned from selling MMO's. Imo it seems like they really are just not all that enthused about the large amount of revenue coming from several popular MMO's such as World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Lord of the Rings Online, and Warhammer. They are too concerned with being able to control peoples content that in the end they are gaining absolutely nothing, compared to the small amount they could have been gaining from sales (mark up/etc). This has probably been something that has been in the works since it seems to have fallen into a loophole, but it really is quite ridiculous. Some of these MMO's have millions of players enjoying their games from all around the world -- it would seem obvious with the monthly fees to play, that it is indeed quite lucrative.
Basically, if you think America is tough on its censorship -- you have not met Australia.
