Remember that whole Australian Fallout 3 censorship fiasco? Fallout 3 gets banned in Australia, only to be announced it’ll indeed get released but with censored content? Here’s something that’ll really make you smile — The censored Australian version of Fallout 3 will now be the global version. In even simpler terms, thanks to the retarded Australian censor board, everyone will get censored Fallout 3. Lovely news, ain’t it?

The developer of Fallout 3 is very “frustrated” by the different levels of censorship that lies in various religions. Without pointing any fingers, Pete Hines, product manager of Bethesda said:
The frustrating thing for us is that the standards and rules can be so varied across territories, that we work with five or six ratings agencies and each one has different ‘hot buttons
Going further, he commented:
In one place nudity is a big deal but violence is fine, and in another place drugs are a problem but nudity is fine.
Bethesda’s frustration is quite understandable, given the hissy-fit that took place when Australian censor board banned Fallout 3, And then unbanned it.
