"The Video game industry thinks it is treated unfair by the child walfare. While the movie indstury can show extreme violence scenes in films like "Bonni und Clyde", "Clockwork Orange" or "Natural born killers" without being listed on the index (?AO Rating?) games must be cut until they are unrecognizable to get a T Rating."

...

Its worth noting that all (I think Bonni & Clyde included?) received 'R' ratings here in Austalia.

A special cut-version of NBK was once shown on TV - heavily cut, and at a very late timeslot. Clockwork Orange I don't think ever has or will make free to air TV.

Clockwork Orange became famous (here anyway) because it was banned instantly at release, and remained banned for about 20 years. 

In one of our states (Queensland) Hellraiser (1?) was banned at release, and is never allowed to be stocked by any video store.

Due to development cost, and the relative small number (of big games anyway) games tend to be much more international releases - rather than small local ones. So the global market is usually taken into account.
