Dear Valve,

As of January 2013, the R18+ rating has been officially implemented for video games in Australia, allowing uncensored video games to be sold in stores. Gamers have been praising the decision made by the Australian Classification Board, but are also calling on developers to re-submit older, uncensored titles to Australia.

Perhaps the most demanded game amongst Australian Gamers is Left 4 Dead 2. There was outcry amongst the Australian gaming community when Left 4 Dead 2 was refused classification in 2009 and people were not satisfied with the release of a heavily censored version.

This Petion asks Valve Corporation to release Left 4 Dead 2 on Steam without the modifications from its first Australian release. This includes but is not limited to:

Common infected disappearing instantly when killed

Inability to set Common infected on fire

No blood and blood splatter on walls and floors

No Gore or Dismemberment

Please release an update to all current Left 4 Dead 2 owners that completely removes censorship from the Australian version, and update the Store page with the uncensored version.

Sincerely,

Cameron Drysdale

On behalf of the Australian Gaming Community
