It would have been the result of a community complaint so some prude got their knickers in a twist and made a complaint, this would have caused a review and due to the classification board in Australia using different standards for games compared to other media it will get refused classification. Its possible that at the moment its just taken off stores while under review.... but I doubt it.
Something more I'd point out about the game of thrones thing.
The "Anime is pedophilia" and "cartoons are pedophilia" crowd are always against the 1000 year old soul (dragon, vampire, succubus) in a young appearing body. They're also against a young soul in an older body. (One piece. Shield hero.)
That said. They're only against it if it is japanese and attractive looking.
Game of thrones? When Sansa was raped by Bolton, she was underage. For the sake of the show, they bullshitted her as older. Yet, ask the average SJW if it's okay to do porn of Raphtalia, who is also aged up but that aging up is cannon, and they're not okay with it.
Likewise, in Stephen King's work... you have an underage orgy where one character goes around and fucks an entire "club" of people to get them out of a magic sewer they can't escape without experiencing love/intimacy.
Is Stephen King banned from AU? Is he jail on sight? Are his books banned? Nope!
This reveals it for what it is: the left knows what fantasy is. They just want to take things away and control people under false pretenses. They want the power to misconstrue, at will, and control art. There was never a unified principle behind it so long as Sansa is getting porked, and Beverly is fucking the entire loosers club sloppy sixes style after defeating pennywise.
I'd wager a lot of the leftists don't know about those things because they don't read, they watch. The media they always gripe about is visual in nature.
I will repeat their philosophy until the heat death of the universe because people still don't understand how the left operates. Hypocrisy, lies, deceit, even murder are permissable to them, so long as the person affected is an acceptable target.
I'm so glad that I'm not an Australian gamer. Hell, the entire reason Fallout 3 had "Med-X' is because the Australian Classification Board didn't like the idea of morphine in the game. Not to mention that Payday 2 fans had to jump through hoops to get access to crossover content with Hotline Miami 2 because they banned the latter game. Then you have some of the most dogshit servers on the planet with their closest gaming neighbours being South Korea and China. And to top it off, games in that country have their prices hiked up, even when it's a digital download.
The dissident right parties seriously need to put "removing the retarded censorship laws and implementing a profiction policy" as a party platform along with things like abolishing gun control, bringing back mental institutions, leaving the commonwealth, exterminating gansters and traffickers, and cracking down against islam, the globalist conspirators, and the regressive left as the party platform.
Government bureaucrats need to look like they're Doing Something™, otherwise they get their budget slashed.
This is Australia though...

Australia likes to ban things all the time. But they still haven't banned Cuties. Let that sink in

I'm pitied by someone called 'futacumdiet'
FML this place fucking sucks.
you're here forever
Ah yes morphine, the fucking medication.
Because a random indie dev can't fight back. Authoritarians are the same everywhere.
This reminds me, any word about our resident Australian who moved to Sweden?
he dead
She's queen now
Of Sweden? Good job mate. We knew Sweden had been letting in too many immigrants, but you used it to take over.
When it comes to censorious dictatorial actions, Austrian or Australian doesn't really matter.
[This has been your mandatory hyperbolic "literally hitler over something ultimately minor" reference.]
I saw this coming so bought my copy before the ban, yay for me and my foresight I guess.
