    This is what the new FPB policy means for South African gamers

    This is how the Film and Publications Board's new policy might affect gaming.

    Make things more difficult for indie developers. Make it possible that even more games won't be available to South Africans.

    The only reason they are doing this is because they want money. They have no interest in the general public. They are only interested in themselves.

    They ask a crapload of money to have a game classified.

    Fuck you FPB. You are the scum of the earth.

    We are heading that way with pricing, so a socialistic approach to the ratings system is not far off.

    If you want to play a game, but the FPB blocks it from being released here for whatever reason, you have only 1 option left. Idiots.

    haha yeah right. The chances of them blocking anything at all is zero.

    Only thing that might become an issue is physical collector eds. Everything else goes over the intertubes and that nobody can stop.

    Single player games will probably still be able to be obtained and played, as for multiplayer, if they force ISP's to block online servers we are going to have a bad time, sigh this is so annoying, these greedy c*nts really piss me off.

    Depends if they block access to the download servers, or the game servers. If it is the former a VPN can fix that problem. Not too sure if a VPN can fix the later problem can one can game through a VPN?
