OK, this is just retarded. 505 Games announced earlier today thatRule of Rosewouldn’t be released in the United Kingdom, due tocomplaints from European Union officials.
Franco Frattini, the justice and security commisioner of Europe, is among the main causes for this particular bit of faggotry. Here’s the statement from a 505 spokesperson addressing the issue:
“Following discussions with our retail and publishing partners, 505 Games has taken the decision not to publishRule of Rosein the UK at this time.”
“I have no idea where the suggestion of in-game sadomasochism has come from, nor children being buried underground. These are things that have been completely made up,” said VSC secretary general Laurie Hall.
According toGamasutra, after the VSC gave the game a PEGI rating of 16+, Frattini called for changes to be made to the age rating system and talks between government officials and industry representatives to help moderate game content.
First the pointless name change withBully, now this. People in Europe reallydoend up getting the raw end of the deal when it comes to videogames.
