Tweaked State of Decay Classified R18+ in Australia

A modified version of Undead Labs' State of Decay has been classified R18+ by the Australian Classification Board. State of Decay was initially refused classification back in late June for issues related to incentives associated with the use of proscribed drugs.

The only change is largely cosmetic; the drug terminology has simply been altered to sidestep the language of the guidelines. As Undead Labs put it a fortnight ago while confirming the re-submission: "Stimulants out! "Supplements" in! Who could possibly not like vitamins? They're good for you."

As a result of Undead Labs' tinkering, drug use in this version of State of Decay is now determined as only mild. Violence remains high impact, but high impact violence is permitted under the new R18+ guidelines.
