DayZ Goes Drug Free, Gets Unbanned in Australia



Earlier this month, Australia refused to classify the video game DayZ due to ?illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards.? Because the continent refused to classify the game, it banned all physical AND digital copies of the game. Developer Bohemia Interactive removed all mentions of drugs and drug use on a global scale (they didn?t want to split the player base), and Australia has kindly classified the game in turn.
DayZ is a multiplayer zombie survival game. It originally had cannabis stores that would restore player health through the use of medicinal marijuana. The Australian Classification Board deemed this as too inappropriate for their consumers, hence the ban.
