For some games released in the UK, we are obliged to consider UK legislation as the Video Recordings Act 2010 currently affects video games. This consideration applies to games that are likely to attain a Pegi 12, 16 or 18 rating and which may contain potentially harmful or illegal material. As there was no such issue with the game, it was duly given its Pegi 18 uncut." http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/05/south-park-stick-of-truth-game-censored-europe |
Which means if it was ONLY the UK getting the game, there would be no censorship, but like people have said Germany and Australia have stupid laws concerning the swastika and depictions of anal penetration, and we're all getting the same version in PAL regions. I don't care, I'll just import the US version, (actually, I'm not a big fan of South Park, so I may not bother at all), but I just don't see how these laws or this censorship helps anyone in any way.
